The Book as Art

For over five hundred years, printed books have connected us on an extraordinary level by spreading common ideas, inspiration, creativity, and knowledge. The Book as Art will showcase creations that transform, reference, and reimagine this widely used form, drawing inspiration from its content, history, and physicality.

 

CALL FOR ART:

We welcome submissions in all media, from handmade books and conventional bookmaking, to creative expressions inspired by books, their forms, and their cultural significance. This includes repurposing books, creating sculptural works, or installations inspired by their form, stories, or characters.

Artists may submit up to 3 pieces.
