Tour of Bookbinding Show – May 31, 2025
May 31 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Members of the Colorado Calligraphers’ Guild are invited to join the Guild of Bookworkers for a tour of this exhibit at the University of Denver on Saturday, May 31 at 1 p.m. Details on the meeting place and parking are below. Please let Holly know if you plan to attend.
Sponsored by the American Academy of Bookbinding, Open•Set is a prestigious triennial exhibition and competition celebrating the art of finely crafted design bookbindings. The exhibition opens in two parts, reflecting the Open•Set namesake and the two categories the binders complete; the Open Category, in which the artist chooses which textblock to bind, and the Set Category, in which participants bind the same textblock.
The bookbinders will be meeting just outside room 290 on the first level of Anderson Academic Commons at 1 pm on May 31st. Room 290 is forward and left after you come in the front entrance (which is on the south side of the building).
Parking info can be found here: https://www.du.edu/sites/default/files/2023-08/parking-map.pdf and there is also paid street parking in the area.
