Embracing the Tangible: Fostering Interdisciplinary Connections in Book Art

In a digital age where screens dominate our interactions, the material book stands as a testament to the enduring power of the tangible. This conference theme invites participants to explore the palpable allure of book art and its capacity to bridge diverse disciplines. We invite proposals for papers, pre-formed panels and demonstrations that examine book art through an interdisciplinary lens highlighting connections and collaborations between book art and disciplines ranging from literature, music, and visual arts to science and technology and beyond. In addition, the conference will include a juried CBAA members exhibition, members showcase, and a vendor fair.

Call for papers is now OPEN! (Click for Proposals page)
Call for work for the Juried Members Exhibition is now OPEN! (Click for Exhibitions page)

Information about travel and accommodations will go up on the CBAA website in the near future!
