The Story Is the Thing, 4/26

ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Writers Centre
Call for entries for an exhibition of artists’ books with a story component.

Artists’ books are books (usually handmade) which are themselves considered to be a work of art.

The theme of the exhibition is “The Story Is The Thing”.

The story component of entries may be the creation of the book artist, or it may be a collaboration (for example, a writer provides the story and a book artist makes the book). The books can be sculptural in form and can be made of materials not usually associated with books. Books can be offered for sale.
