The Puget Sound Book Artists are pleased to announce the 12th Annual Members\u2019 Exhibition. The exhibition will be on view at the Collins Memorial Library at University of Puget Sound from June 5th -July 27th. The suggested theme is \u201cCollaboration\u201d and illustrates the organization’s efforts to build community throughout the region. Every member of PSBA has the opportunity of displaying a book in this exhibit, and the curatorial team of Abbie Birmingham, Jan Dove, Rachel Watson, Gina Pisello, and Belinda Hill are excited to work with the artists and share their distinctive creations. The books are created from various materials, including old books, found objects, metal, fabric, etc., and come in many sizes and structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Members’ Exhibition is especially important to lead curator Belinda Hill. Years ago, it was her first introduction to book arts. \u201cIt was a revelation seeing the idea of a \u2018book\u2019 redefined in so many different ways,\u201d she says and continues; “I was so excited that I went home and started making books, and now I can\u2019t stop. Now I\u2019m happy to work on sharing these amazing pieces of art with more people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The PSBA Annual Members’ Exhibition is now a summer tradition at the Collins Library and in Tacoma,” says Library Director Jane Carlin. \u201cEach June, we eagerly await the arrival of the curatorial team to work their magic in staging the exhibition. And we are never disappointed! This year we are particularly excited to see the books as the exhibition’s theme is collaboration. We all know how important it is to work together and learn from one another. The Book Arts Community is filled with such talent and generous artists that reach out to share knowledge and artistic expertise and to tell their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
