Rhiannon Alpers
Hand Bookbinders of California Members' Exhibition
LOCATION: Arion Press, San Francisco, CA
EXHIBITION DATES: July 13 – September 25, 2020
Celebrate the 48th year of the Hand Bookbinders of California. Arion Press, beautifully situated in the Presidio, is hosting the 48th Annual Hand Bookbinders of California Members' Exhibition at the Grabhorn Institute gallery in the Presidio. Because of COVID-19 restrictions please check ARION PRESS prior to planning a visit.
One of HBC’s (Hand Bookbinders of California) foundational mandates is to provide opportunities for local bookbinders to share their work—not only with one another but also with a broader community. Every year since our inception in 1972, HBC has created a public Annual Members Exhibition. All members in good standing—whether amateur or professional, beginner or expert —are welcome to enter their work.
The books and book-related art in our annual exhibitions reflect the varied interests of our diverse membership and can include design bindings, fine press, artist’s books, calligraphy, conservation, box-making, historical structures, and paper decoration. A full-color catalog accompanies each exhibition.
