Program Description:
During the final virtual talk for the Night Circus exhibition, featured artists discuss the process of designing and creating the covers of their books. They also discuss how the cover reinforces the themes of the subject matter of the books.
This exhibition features approximately 31 works by members of the Guild of Book Workers, an organization that promotes interest in and awareness of the tradition of the book and paper arts. Members interpreted the theme of “Night Circus”, invoking curiosity with its spectacle, fascination with artistry and performance, exploration of the mysterious and luminous, investigation of clandestine actions and secret knowledge, and embrace of chaos and otherness. Free and open to the public.
