EXHIBITIONS:
5th INTERNATIONAL BOOK & PAPER TRIENNIAL
July 26 – September 13, 2008
Reception: July 26, 2008 5:30–7:30
In order to show our students and indeed all visitors to the Center what is going on in the national/international world of book & paper, we call together artists in these fields from around the world for this juried exhibition. For the fifth time, we are casting our nets to find the best and most interesting art in these fields. This always proves to be a real eye-opener as to what can be done in these artistic fields.
