Beyond Words: Book show opens Sept. 13

The semi-annual, much-awaited, hand-made book show will open to the public at WSG gallery at noon, Sept. 13, 2011. Barbara Brown, one of our book artists at the gallery - http://www.barbarabrownbooks.com/new_work_gallery/newWork.html - is the curator of the show. Each book show she puts together blows the definition of book out of the universe.

In the day of e-readers, books seem ever more precious. The object you can hold in your hand, that gives you information, holds ideas, stretches your mind, takes you on journeys - becomes all of those and a piece of art in this show.

Stop by and go on a journey of the mind with us!!!
