"The Story Is The Thing" Exhibition of Artists' Books

The ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Writers Centre is calling for entries for an exhibition of artists’ books with a story component. The exhibition will be held at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre from 27th May to the 6th June, 2010. Exhibition entry forms are available from janeschauer@grapevine.net.au Entries are welcome from interstate and overseas.

A requirement to enter the exhibition is that the artists’ books should have a story component. The story does not need to be lengthy and it can be the creation of the book artist, or it can 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 made of materials not usually associated with books. Books can be offered for sale.
