Boundless - Artist's Books. An international Juried Open Call Exhibition

We made an open call for any book artists around the world to submit entries to this Exhibition and we received entries from far and wide. Over 40 have been selected for inclusion in the exhibition and the winners of the judge's choice prize for 'The Most Engaging Work' and 'Highly Commended' will be announced on Sunday July 5th by the Judge - Toni Hartill. After time for a cuppa Toni will do a floor talk about selected works in the exhibition and how they engage with us as Artist's Books. There is still a third prized to be awarded - People's Choice which must be voted for in the gallery. So do join us for beautiful art, great conversations, a cuppa tea and to cast your vote.

In the selected entries there is a wonderful varied exploration of what makes an art object a 'book'.

Many of these works are available for purchase - art that has come to us from Hungary, Barcelona, United States,  Canada.
