Awards ceremony | Baker & Whitehill artists' book contest

Each year, Special Collections at RISD Library hosts a juried student artists' book contest to promote engagement with the book arts, investigation of the Library's artists' book collection and creative production in the book form at RISD. The contest and accompanying exhibition attract 30–50 submissions from RISD undergraduate, graduate and Continuing Education students. All of the entries are displayed in the Fleet Library. A team of RISD faculty members and professional artists serves as jurors, selecting prize winners from the submissions. All prizes are purchase awards, and the selected student-made artists' books become part of the Library's collection. This year marks the program's fifth anniversary.  Please join us for the awards ceremony.
