Special Event: Between the Covers

There is an inherent dilemma when exhibiting books: what’s inside? what is obscured from view? We will remove a handful of books from the display cases for viewing the inside, the outside and all its parts. Join us for an in-person, guided exploration of selected books from the Hand Bookbinders of California’s 54th Annual Members Exhibition.

This special event is an opportunity to see the functionality and relationship between the interior and exterior of selected books. Join Beth Redmond and Insiya Dhatt as they reveal the less visible aspects of some of the beautiful and thought-provoking books in this special exhibition. Please RSVP, seating is limited.
