"A Book Arts Mosaic" & "Millennium in a Box" Exhibit in McPherson Gallery

The Maltwood Museum and Art Gallery is pleased to present a book art installation by the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild in the McPherson Library Gallery. The display consists of two very distinct
exhibitions: “A Book Arts Mosaic” and “Millennium in a Box.”

“A Book Arts Mosaic” features 25 pieces by 38 Canadian book artists portrayed in media as diverse as handmade papers, wood, leather, cotton, and photographs. This group of work focuses on the ethnic and cultural diversity of Canada.

“Millennium in a Box” features 35 Canadian book artists’ interpretation of where the new millennium may lead, whether technically, socially or personally. This exhibit features a similarly wide range of binding styles including tunnel, miniature, origami and concertina books.

This exhibit runs from October 6, 2007 to January 20, 2007 in the McPherson Library Gallery.

The McPherson Library Gallery is open Monday – Thursday 8 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Guided Tours of the exhibit will take place Friday November 23rd at 11 am and 2pm in the McPherson Library Gallery.
