Welcome to LIBROS

LIBROS is New Mexico’s Book Arts Guild offering a variety of inspiration for both traditional and experimental artist’s books. We hold regular meetings on the 1st Saturday of the month, as well as annual and special exhibits. We welcome new members and guests – please see our Calendar page for a list of upcoming meetings.

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.)

Ester will be collecting books for this exhibit at the March meeting.

Next Meeting

Tunnel Books

Tunnel books are comprised of pictures/scenes layered onto accordion sides that create a three-dimensional theater/stage effect. They can be used to tell a story or show a landscape. Join Marilyn Stablein as she guides us to construct our own tunnel books.

If you participated in the 2012 Collaborative Book project, please bring your finished Valentine Box with you so we can all enjoy the final result (and take a few pics!).
