Co-sponsored by the College Book Art Association, artist’s book works submitted to this exhibition were created by faculty, staff, and students of academic institutions in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A contemporary survey, the juried works demonstrate the breadth and depth of work being produced in programs across the South.
