Fundraiser for Bob Blesse

Founding member of CBAA, Bob Blesse lost almost all his worldly possessions when the Blesse Family House, where he was living, was totally destroyed by fire. He was literally left with only the clothes on his back. We are establishing this fundraiser to him in acquire clothes and other essential things he lost.

Your help would be greatly appreciated no matter what amount you can afford to donate. Many thanks!

2023 CBAA Virtual Symposium: June 2–3

Lessons from Lockdown: Rethinking Book Art Education

The 2023 CBAA virtual symposium encourages members to share experiences and resources from their online adaptations to book art education over the past few years. The pandemic forced radical rethinking about curriculum, participant engagement and methods of delivery. This led to rapid developments in the way book art is taught, learned, and experienced.
