COMMUNITY EVENTS
To introduce the book arts to a wider audience, Cincinnati Book Arts Society takes part in events throughout the community. We have held Introduction to Bookmaking classes at libraries and museums, offered workshops for fulfillment of the Girl Scouts Book Artist badge requirement and taken part in school events promoting reading. CBAS also works with other non-profit groups to increase awareness of the creative arts in all our lives.
For information about beginning bookmaking classes or participation in community events, email us at [email protected].
