Five Days in Bogota book cover

Young widow Ally Blake risks everything to save her grieving family from bankruptcy by choosing to exhibit at an art fair in Bogotá in the 1990s—during the height of the drug wars. When her art crates are mysteriously tampered with, she discovers an ex-boyfriend from her State Department days has involved her in a money laundering scheme. Now it’s up to her to stop the fraud, save herself, and secure her family’s future—but pulling it off will require the art deal of a lifetime.

Five Days in Bogota is February 2025’s selection for SDMA’s Art of Reading book club.

Few of the structures built by Frank Lloyd Wright during his historic career exemplify his never-ending pursuit of beauty better than his Usonian homes. Wright created the Usonian design philosophy to show that a practical and affordable home can still be a beautiful home. He brought best-in-class architecture to the middle-class when he built his first Usonian home at the age of 71.

Wright sought harmony between form and function, natural and artificial construction, and positive and negative space. The perforated boards that adorn the windows and laylights of these Usonian homes have become symbols of his unique design approach.

This Blackwing 12-pencil set is a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural ambition. Each pencil features a silhouette of one of Wright’s iconic perforated boards printed in a muted, mid-century palette. The area around the board is unfilled, letting the natural wood of the pencil shine through. Each pencil also includes a copper ferrule and extra-firm graphite.
