Book of the Month

Take a closer look at the featured Artist’s Book for October!

Next time you visit, simply ask one of our gallery volunteers about Artspace Mackay’s new Book of the Month program.

It’s a free opportunity for you—with the help of volunteers—to explore the featured ‘artist’s book of the month’ up-close and page-by-page. Depending on availability, it might be something we can arrange spontaneously during your visit, or we can identify another time that is suitable for trained volunteers to assist and guide you.

Often when artist’s books are displayed, we see them open at only one page, but this program is a fun and informal way for us to enjoy viewing the work from start to finish—the way the artist intended.
