Book Arts Roundtable
On view through June 14, 2023
An artist’s book is a work of art in book form. The objects encourage readers to rethink the nature of the book and reading in new and unexpected ways.
Presented by Book Arts Roundtable, the exhibited art books incorporate typography, papermaking, paper engineering, bookmaking, design, fine art, graphics, creative writing and digital media. Each displayed book was created by a New Jersey artist and inspired by the Garden State.
Book Arts Roundtable was established to encourage the love of book and paper arts and create a forum for the exchange of ideas, information and instruction about the art of the book. For further information, visit: www.bookartsroundtable.com
