MCBA offers select book arts workshops for youth. In these half-day and full-day workshops, students grow their interest in books and visual arts and feel pride as they engage in artmaking in a book arts studio regularly accessed by working artists.

Students ages 15–18 are welcome to join workshops designed for adults with a parent or caregiver who is also registered to attend the workshop.
