Who’s coming to the @codexfoundation’s Book Art Fair this weekend? We’ll be at booth 7, ready to share all of our work uplifting artists’ books and to meet artists!
Speaking of our work with artists’ books—did you know that the Cynthia Sears Artists’ Book Collection, housed at BIMA, has over 3,500 books and is growing?! Plus, have you seen our Sherry Grover Gallery? It’s a space entirely dedicated to artists’ books, like the ones here by Mare Blocker, and the makers behind them.
Stop by and say hello this weekend at the Fair!
