To Have and To Hold:
Art You Can Touch
We are looking for artists’ books that people visiting our gallery can touch—no gloves required. If you are interested in having your work included in this show, please submit it to MCBA, attn: To Have and To Hold by September 10, 2005. Include a SASE for its return. Work will be on view until Nov 26. Works will be selected by MCBA for inclusion in this show, which will have a “reading room” format. Although great care will be taken with all books, due to the “hands on” nature of this show, possible damage may occur from multiple visitors. |
Annual By Design Exhibition
A juried show for all artists who have ever participated in MCBA’s teen artist development and mentoring program will be on exhibit from August 20 – September 19. Submit one or more pieces of new, book arts related work (produced within the past year, preferably outside of By Design classes). All work should be brought to MCBA (with proper labeling and an artist’s statement) by 12 pm on August 11, 2005. Contact Tiffany Kramer, Teen Programs Coordinator, with questions at (612) 215-2532 or tkramer@mnbookarts.org. |
