Book Arts Mentorships

The MCBA/Jerome Book Arts Mentorship Series VIII

The Book Arts Mentorship is an artist development program aimed at introducing book arts to early career artists whose primary medium is in another discipline. There are many reasons to explore book arts as a new artistic medium. As a highly malleable and versatile form of expression, book arts extend the possibilities of other art forms. You can create a conceptual space. Experiment with sequence and visual or verbal narrative. Use book art forms to extend, explore, document or reexamine work produced in other artistic disciplines.

Applications for the MCBA/Jerome Book Arts Mentorship Series XIII have closed. Please direct any questions regarding the Jerome Mentorship Program to Anika Schneider, Director of Exhibitions & Artist Programs, at aschneider@mnbookarts.org.

Since 1985, the Jerome Foundation has helped artists push the boundaries of contemporary book arts by supporting the creation of new work. Book arts projects funded by thirteen series of Fellowships and four prior series of Mentorships range from exquisitely crafted fine press volumes and sculptural books to documented performances and one-of-a-kind installations that “break the bindings” and redefine conventional notions of book form.
