BOOKS AS ART 3
November 5-27, 2021
Fairbanks Arts Association
Bear Gallery
In order to begin designing our BAA3 gallery layout, the Planning Committee would like to ask members to please give some idea of how many books you plan to enter in the exhibition, as well as offer for sale in the gift shop.
As a reminder, the entry categories are listed below.
Please send your categories and expected numbers of books in each category to Mary Maisch at mbmaisch@gmail.com at your earliest convenience. No worries if you don't know your exact plans yet. This is a preliminary outreach for planning purposes.
Thank you!
Your input will help us design a smashing exhibition!
