Event Description: This panel discussion will be an opportunity to explore new ideas and perspectives in the world of artist books. All three panelists bring unique understanding to the discussion since they are designers, artists and curators in this medium. They are aware of current trends in the book arts and filter this understanding through their own perspective as artists. Our moderator has been on the board of PSBA since its inception and brings the perspective of librarian, researcher and collector to the discussion.
