[BKARTS] 2006 Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and Conference

[brad freeman <jabeditor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are pleased to announce that the ninth biennial Pyramid Atlantic 
Book Arts Fair and Conference will be held on November 18 - 19, 2006 in 
Silver Spring, MD. The 2004 Fair and Conference was a huge success for 
exhibitors, attendees and scholars. Over forty publishers, artists and 
suppliers exhibited at the Fair while the Conference featured some of 
the most important writers, educators and artists working in the field.

The Artist Book Yearbook, published by Sarah Bodman of Impact Press at 
the University of West England, cites the Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts 
Fair and Conference as one of the key international gatherings  for 
book arts by showcasing artists and providing dynamic information and a 
panoply of books for collectors.

“This conference [The 2004 Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and 
Conference] was probably the finest Book Fair I have attended, largely 
due to . . . the scholarship of artists themselves who make bookworks . 
. . And the fair was the liveliest I have ever attended besides 
Frankfurt. There was energy, sales and a dynamic that one often misses 
at Book Fairs.” - Judith Hoffberg, Umbrella, October, 2005.

The speakers for the 2006 Conference include Clifton Meador, book 
artist and Director of the Graduate Book Arts Program at Columbia 
College Chicago, Pattie Belle Hastings, book artist and Professor of 
Interactive Digital Media at Quinnipiac College in New Haven, and Ward 
Tietz, artist and faculty member at Georgetown University in visual 
literature.
