Join us at OPEN BOOK for the Fifth Annual Book Arts Show curated by esteemed book artist Erin Maurelli and curator Heather Friedli!
Curated by Twin Cities book artist Erin Maurelli and artist Heather Friedli, this year’s exhibition brings together a diverse group of contemporary artists working across fine press, zines, sculptural books, and experimental print. The show explores the book as both object and narrative, pushing beyond traditional formats into immersive, tactile works.
With a strong mix of emerging and established artists, the exhibition offers a compelling look at the growing book arts movement in the Twin Cities and its expanding audience.
Featured artists include:
Charlie Andrés, Tegan Daly, Sarah Evenson, Liana Fu, Jenie Gao, Cynthia Gipple, Adriana Gordon, Jessica Greenfield, Barbara Hocker, Leekyung Kang, Ellen Knudson, Mary Larsen, Ron Linn, Clarissa Martinez, Rachel Melis, Lisa Nebenzahl, Seneca Norvell, Rujuta Rao, Julia Strand, Todd Thyberg, Angela Velasquez Garcia de los Salmones, & Wendy Withrow
