Hurrah for the book arts! The art of the book! Artists' books and artist's books! Livres d'artistes! And all those who encourage their continuance!

We are considering starting an annual/biennial Stanford student artists' book competition. While we have no specific book program, classes in the Art Dept. are offered on making photography books, plus the usual printmaking, etc.

Have any of you sponsored an artists' book competition/exhibition?

How do you judge the submissions?
Who judges the submissions?
Do not judge, just exhibit?

Exhibition?
Web site with competition specifics available?

Please respond to the list as this info will certainly be of interest to many.

Yours in Bookness, whatever form it might take,

Dear Colleagues,

I am gathering recommendations on good places/colleges/universities to study book making (artists' books). 

The University of Wisconsin-Madison has generated many fine book artists over the past thirty years and continues to offer a few courses in this area.  I know that the University of the Arts in Philadelphia has a very active program in book arts. 

Many of us have wonderful artists' book collections in our libraries, but where are the best places to learn/study this art form?

This may be of interest to others, so please reply to the arlis-l list. 

Thanks!

--Lyn
