Peer Reviewers, 3/20
You will have seen my previous post about the call for articles for the new CBAA journal. We are also looking for peer reviewers for the journal (see below). I noticed that the links got stripped out of my previous post for some reason. The journal's website can be found at http://journals.sfu.ca/cbaa/ (The site has not yet had any design applied to it, but all the information is accurate.)
Call for Peer Reviewers
The College Book Art Association (CBAA) welcomes applications to be a peer reviewer for its new academic journal, Openings: Studies in Book Art. The journal will maintain a database with the names and expertise of reviewers who will then be matched to articles as needed. Of special interest are reviewers from a wide range of fields that intersect with the study of book art: art history, graphic design, printmaking, digital media, poetry, literature, theater, library science, and other textual and/or visual disciplines.
The journal follows a double-blind review process so author and reviewer remain anonymous to each other. Peer reviewers are asked to evaluate the article and make publishing recommendations that will go to the editorial board for final decision. Peer reviewers will be contacted as needed (depending on submissions) and can decline particular assignments if their schedule would prevent timely completion of a review.
If you are interested in being considered for addition to this peer reviewer database, submit a short (1-2 paragraph) statement describing your qualifications and area(s) of expertise along with a CV to Elisabeth Long at journal@collegebookart.org
The editorial board will make decisions about peer reviewers based on their qualifications and their areas of expertise and will notify applicants when they are added to the database.

Artists' Books 2011, ?
Call for Entries
Artists' Books 2011 Exhibition
June 13 - July 23, 2011
Cuesta College Art Gallery
San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8106
Just a short introduction to the call for entries for "Artists' Books 2011",
my name is David Prochaska; I am an instructor of fine art at Cuesta
College, San Luis Obispo, California. Since 1999 I have organized an annual
book arts exhibition, to expose our local community to the community of
artists making books. These exhibitions have grown each year, both in the
number of books exhibited, as well as the number of enthusiastic visitors to
these installations. If you are looking to expose your artist books to a
new and enthusiastic audience, then this is the exhibition for you.
In these times of fiscal restraints, we are all aware of the limited funding
accessible to the arts. At the same time we must, as artists, be aware of
the need to build greater exposure to all art forms. For this reason we must
continue to ask the artists contributing to these exhibitions to assist in
the transportation of their books. (Mailing fees generally cost between $10
to $20 dollars.) With no entry fee or other charges this is a small price to
pay for the chance to get your books out to the people. The juror for
year?s exhibition will be the Cuesta College Book Arts students.
This is a ?hands on? exhibition! We want to encourage the visitors to
interact with these book forms, so please send books you want people to
interact with. We will provide gloves to the visitors to protect the books
from any soiling. But again, we really do hope to build a willingness to
interact with the books exhibited.
The exhibition will display between 80-100 books, so your work will be in
good company.
To participate in "Artists' Books 2011", please write or e-mail me for a
prospectus.
