The Center for Book & Paper Arts is dedicated to the teaching and exploration of concept and craft at the intersections of bookmaking, visual arts, and language. As the home of the Interdisciplinary MFA in Book & Paper, we are invested in fostering the production of art that explores the creative potential of the crafts of printing, papermaking, and bookbinding. We are interested in the creative exploration of the intersection of book arts, artists books, poetry, installation, experimental literature, and other book-related creative endeavours. We hope this conference will provide a forum for furthering our goal of expanding the field of book arts in these directions.
