Join us for this exciting annual event! The seventh annual Book Arts Festival at MCBA will celebrate the art of the book in Minnesota and beyond. The two-day event is dedicated to the promotion and sale of artists' work and an appreciation of the book as an embodiment of artistic expression. Over 40 artists will be displaying and selling handmade books, journals, paper, prints and gifts. Browse hundreds of items, many made by local artists, and purchase something special for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
Festivities will include demonstrations throughout the day, free holiday ornament making, and special sales on gift items featured in The Shop @ MCBA.
The Festival is free and open to the public.
