The 11th Biennial Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and Conference

The 11th Biennial Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and Conference presents an
exciting weekend of events which will examine the evolution of the book as
art and the latest innovations and interpretations of this versatile
form. For the first time, this year’s Book Arts Fair will also include a
contemporary print component which will examine the print form as an
independent medium as well as its relationship to the book.

Now in its third decade, the fair will showcase artists' books, limited
edition prints, fine papers, and specialty tools along with a dynamic
program of notable speakers, demonstrations, film screenings, and special
exhibition.

Mark your calendars and come join the Book (R)evolution!

Date: November 5-7, 2010

Venue: Silver Spring, Maryland (Washington DC Metro Area)

Interested in exhibiting?

Book artists, printmakers, papermakers, fine printers, book and print
publishing organizations, fine booksellers, and toolmakers are invited to
apply for a booth at the fair. This year three awards will be given based on
artistic excellence. In addition, award winners will receive recognition at
the fair and an invitation to the next Book Arts Fair.

This year's jury panel includes Katherine Blood, Curator of Prints at the
Library of Congress; Helen Frederick, Director Emeritus of Pyramid Atlantic
and Professor of the School of Art at George Mason University; and Robert
Tillman, Printmaker and Founder of Printeresting.org.
