BOOKS AS ART 3
OPENS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5

Bear Gallery
Fairbanks Arts Association

Gallery hours: Monday-Saturday, 12-6pm
Dear NBG Community,
I am thrilled to announce the opening of Books as Art 3 this Friday, November 5, 2021. Last Sunday, 164 handmade books were delivered to the Bear Gallery. For those of us coordinating the InTake Event, it was an exciting afternoon. I felt a keen sense of delight as each artist opened their box or bag and set their books on the table.  I think you will be as thrilled as I am when you see the wide array of artist books in the show. This week, the Exhibition Committee is in the process of thoughtfully arranging the books, labels, signage, and special displays so that everything will be ready for Friday’s opening.

The breadth of this exhibition articulates the creativity and imagination of NBG members. I hope you can join me at our two special hybrid events this month. On November 5 we will celebrate the opening of Books As Art 3, highlighting the Set Book Project, a unique collaboration between our Guild and the University of Alaska Press. On November 19, we will gather again for our annual meeting and a commemoration of the 10 Year Anniversary of our Guild. All the information and links to both of the events are listed below. 

Books as Art 3 will be open November 5-27, Monday-Saturday, 12-6pm. I hope you will all be able to make it to the Bear Gallery to see the show in person and purchase handmade artist books and cards from NBG’s Artist of the Month display in the Gift Shop. I am grateful to all the NBG artists who have shared their books and to all the volunteers who have worked to bring our show to life.

Warmest regards,
Susan Campbell
NBG President
