Center for Book Arts celebrates 50 years of uplifting and furthering the book arts & book art with Hello Thank You Come In: 50th Anniversary Members Exhibition, an exhibition of members’ works. Hello Thank You Come In, so named for a favorite archival photograph of the door of the very first Center for Book Arts location, on which is a poster for the first Members Exhibition, celebrates the history of our Members Exhibitions and the talents of our current community of artist members on the occasion of Center for Book Arts’ 50th birthday. This ambitious exhibition features artists’ books or publications by current CBA members which make use of cloth, found objects, and archival materials in addition to traditional bookbinding materials and which challenge—and honor—the form of the book.
