Asheville Bookworks in western North Carolina is holding it 7th annual juried book show in the
Bookwork Gallery
September 23 through November 28th, 2011
428 1/2 Haywood Rd
West Asheville, NC 28806
" Bookopolis" kicks off its show with a weekend celebration and display of all artists books entered into the show. Most books can be handled with care and many tools and processes are demonstrated: sewing books, cranking the Vandercook press - and guests leave with a printed memento. Books selected by jurist Eileen Wallace are on display for the remainder of the exhibit and are represented in a full color catalog.
This is my entry: "Daily Wants: Dominoes" it was displayed during "Bookopolis" weekend and selected for the remaining juried show and included in a beautiful catalog.

I was lucky enough to get up to Asheville NC and see this show. There are some very beautiful works in this collection. Go here to view a sample of the catalog.
The print shop and papermaking facilities are very impressive. There is an open workshop area where you can watch artists at work. I was able to watch a multicolored woodblock print being made. The variety of printing presses assures that all types of printing process can be practiced.
