Abundant June continues. Bloomsday is past. We've just celebrated the first Juneteenth in its new official designation as a national holiday, and now here comes Old Midsummer, as the setting sun on June 23 brings St. John's Eve, that same mischievous night William Shakespeare wrote about in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Juneteenth and midsummer night's dreaming may admittedly be an odd combination, but be that as it may, for Episode 40 of Book Arts 101, we'll dabble in artists' books and prints from the Jaffe Collection that touch on both. Be sure to stay to the end, for that's when we'll be sharing some big news: We'll be announcing the line-up for this summer's Library Wayzgoose Festival. It will be a virtual event that you can attend from anywhere in the world, and this year's Wayzgoose is going to be a very special one. I think you'll be really excited about our featured printer and our musicians.

Salzberg Artist in Residency

After a hiatus last year due to the uncertainties wrought by a global pandemic, the Jaffe Center for Book Arts is pleased to announce that applications for JCBA’s Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program for the 2021/2022 academic year are now being accepted. The residency has been retooled this year to offer flexibility in residency: you could be our next Salzberg Resident without leaving your home studio (wherever it may be).
