The Center for Book Arts is committed to exploring and cultivating contemporary aesthetic interpretations of the book as an art object while invigorating traditional artistic practices of the art of the book. The Center seeks to facilitate communication between the book arts community and the larger spheres of contemporary art and literature through exhibitions, classes, public programming, literary presentations, opportunities for artists and writers, publications, and collecting. Founded in 1974, it was the first organization of its kind in the nation.

Join us for live music, cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres from 6 to 9 pm and an after party from 9 to 11pm. If you are not able to attend the live event, a representative from the Center will facilitate proxy bidding via absentee bids.
