LIBROS Exhibits

2012 Annual Members Exhibit

April 2 – May 31, 2012

The theme for this year’s LIBROS annual show will be Journeys, Inner and Outer. It will be held at the Albuquerque Main Public Library (2nd Floor, 501 Copper Ave NW) in downtown Albuquerque.

Each LIBROS member may enter TWO books (we have much less space this year than in our past shows). There is no time limit on this show, so what wonderful books have you made from your Life’s Journeys, out in the great wide world or inside your own psyche, that you would like to show to the public. (If you think you have a good image to use for the publicity, please send it to Esther Feske.)
