8 | As a result of the move, MCBA will nearly double its space, making it the country's largest, most comprehensive center of its kind--a workshop, classroom, gallery, archive and retail store all in one. Visitors can watch various aspects of bookmaking in progress and MCBA wil continue to offer a variety of programs from youth tours to lectures to classes in bookbinding, papermaking and letterpress printing. Book artists of all abilities can participate in MCBA's Tuesday night Open Studio or rent studio space. The two other major tenants of Open Book are The Loft Literary Center and Milkweed Press. A coffeehouse and a bookstore are also scheduled to open soon in the building. Open Book provides a creative environment for writers, readers, artists and publishers to work together, along with financial stability for the 3 main tenants and future opportunities for collaboration. |
9 | The Center for Book Arts is dedicated to preserving the traditional crafts of book-making, as well as exploring and encouraging contemporary interpretations of the book as an art object. Founded in 1974, it was the first not-for-profit organization of its kind in the nation, and has since become a model for others around the world. Its work is channelled through five program areas: exhibitions related to the arts of the book; lectures on topics of interest to book artists and craftspeople; a modest publication schedule; services to artists, both established and emerging and, much the most prominent currently, an extensive offering of classes. Each year the Center offers three terms of courses, workshops and seminars taught by experienced book artists, and providing hands-on training in all aspects of traditional and contemporary bookmaking, including bookbinding, letterpress printing, papermaking , and other associated arts. |
10 | Located just east of Pasadena, California, the Huntington is on 130 acres of beautiful flower and garden covered grounds. Multiple gallery buildings exhibit art, statuary and manuscripts.

12 | We hold exhibitions of book arts from time to time at Denison Library at Scripps College and in the Humanities Museum. We have two Frederic W. Goudy Lectures on the Book Arts every year, free and open to the public. And two Goudy Workshops, for a fee. We publish two books a year which are available for sale.
