Attention Atlanta book artists and book lovers! SCAD Atlanta is hosting their 3rd annual Artists’ Book Symposium, Variant Hues: Art, Design and Teaching with Artists’ Books, this weekend (March 12-13, 2010). Much of the symposium content is for SCAD students only, but the public is welcome to attend all lectures and receptions free of charge (and no need to register). There’s a presentation by Vamp and Tramp Booksellers on Friday afternoon followed by a reception and the announcement of the Student Artists’ Book Competition winners and Awards Ceremony. On Saturday there is a not to be missed lecture by artist Macy Chadwick of In Cahoots Press. Be sure to also check out the exhibition No Translation Required - Artists’ Books in Germany/Georgia at SCAD, if you can’t make it this weekend the show will be up at the SCAD Trois Gallery thru April 16th. The exhibition showcases selections of the best contemporary book art from the collections of the Klingspor Museum and the ACA Library of SCAD, and also highlights student work from SCAD and the University of the Arts, Braunschweig. Hope to see you there!
