Conference at Center for Book and Paper Arts
Action/Interaction: Book/Arts Conference 2007
June 8 – 10, 2007
Chicago, IL
An opportunity to raise the level of critical discourse among students and practitioners in the book arts field; to examine what we do as artists and why.
- A program of lectures and participatory guided discussions
- A juried exhibit surveying contemporary work from centers of book arts around the country
- A book fair in which students, artists, publishers, and vendors can showcase and sell current work
The conference will take place in the historic Ludington Building, home to the Columbia College Center for Book and Paper Art in the heart of Chicago’s South Loop. It is scheduled to coincide with the annual Printer’s Row Book Fair, the Midwest’s largest free outdoor literary event occurring in the nearby Printer’s Row neighborhood.
Join us for Open Mike Night on Saturday: an opportunity to share your work through readings, performance, and other interactive displays of book arts. Let us know if you have something you’d like to share that might require special equipment.
