GET READY!!!
We hope you are having a busy summer folding, glueing, and stitching your entries for Books As Art 3 exhibition! This is our opportunity to share what we create as book artists and what we do as a Guild within our Fairbanks community. We encourage you to enter books in as many of these categories as possible:
General Entries
Artist books created over the last 4 years are eligible:
they may be one-of-a-kind or editioned;
they may or may not have text and/or images;
they may have been made in a class or on your own.
Consult the Guidelines for more information.
NBG members may submit up to 4 entries in this category.
Foldable Entries
If you used a foldable structure to create an artist book, enter it in this category.
Recent program meetings have focused on foldable structures,
but Foldables are not limited to those presented at our meetings.
Our goal is to include the widest variety of foldable structures as possible.
There’s no limit to the number you may submit in this category.
Set Book Entries
If you participated in the Set Book Project, all of your books completed
for the project are part of of the Set Book category.
Letterpress/Chap Book Entries
If you created a letterpress chapbook or used letterpress in any of your books,
enter them in this category.
There’s no limit to the number that you may submit in this category.
#areyoubookenough Entries
If you created books in response to any of the #areyoubookenough challenges,
enter them in this category.
It's not too late! Current and upcoming challenge themes:
August - Winding
September - Open
October - Rings
November - Winged
There’s no limit to the number that you may submit in this category.
Because NBG is the designated Gift Shop Artist of the Month (GSAM), you are also encouraged to create book works to be offered for sale in the Bear Gallery Gift Shop. A 40% commission on all sales supports the Fairbanks Arts Association.
Stay tuned for the line-up of weekly events to take place throughout the duration of the show!
