First Friday Art Walk, Friday July 7th from 5-8pm
THE ART OF THE BOOK
An exhibition of handmade artists’ books by the members and friends of the Book Arts Guild of Vermont
Is the physical book coming to an end? Not according to artists who seek to interpret ‘the book’ as a means of creative expression. The concept of the artist’s book can take many forms and encompass various techniques, including collage, printmaking, papermaking, sewing, graphic design, calligraphy, and digital techniques. The end result is an artwork that tells a story, relates a feeling, or sends a message through the interaction of the materials, structure, and content. Regardless of form, the artist’s book contains the vision of the artist, but is meant to be shared with the reader.
The Book Arts Guild of Vermont (B.A.G.) was established in 2005 to offer learning opportunities in and around the field of book arts, and to create a supportive and welcoming environment for new and established artists and craftspeople. Our mission is to promote greater public awareness of book arts, increase opportunities for members to exhibit their work, and inspire and encourage creativity and the sharing of book arts in our community. Monthly meetings feature hands-on projects, demonstrations, lectures, and discussions.
