There are many benefits to membership in The Center for
Book Arts. Scroll down the page or click the link to read about our membership
categories.
In order to continue mounting outstanding
exhibitions, publish the finest artist's
books, broadsides,
chapbooks,
and exhibition
catalogs, and provide services
to both emerging and established artists, we depend on your financial support.
Thirty years ago we established an art center devoted to books as aesthetic
objects, and our model has been copied by organizations across this country and
abroad. We now have a Book Art Movement. Please help us continue to
advance the art of the book in our fourth decade! In an era of declining public
support for the arts, your contribution is more important than ever.
Center for Book Arts, Incorporated 1974 is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
