'UP CLOSE AND HANDS ON' - MINNEAPOLIS ARTISTS' COLLABORATIVES
These tours feature visits to several of Minneapolis' outstanding artists' collaboratives, with the opportunity for tour participants to engage in 'hands-on' activities under the guidance of skilled practitioners. These tours are scheduled so that conference attendees may participate in visits to all three destinations, or any combination thereof.
MINNESOTA CENTER FOR BOOK ARTS $40, maximum 24 participants
Please see our Conference Blog for specific information regarding transportation arrangements.
Our guided visit offers an introduction to the book arts and artists' books, including a demonstration of the traditional crafts of papermaking, letterpress printing, and bookbinding, as well as a look at contemporary book making as an art form. This exclusive opening will also provide extended time for individual browsing in the MCBA library of artists' books under the guidance of its curator, along with private access to the exhibition gallery and shop. [NOTE: A shorter visit to MCBA is also offered on Thursday, March 24, from 10:00 AM - Noon.]
