The Book Arts Mentorship is an artist development program aimed at introducing book arts to emerging artists whose primary medium is in another discipline. Since 1985, the Jerome Foundation has helped emerging artists push the boundaries of contemporary book arts by supporting the creation of new work. Now in its fifth series, the MCBA/Jerome Foundation Book Arts Mentorship introduces book arts to emerging artists whose primary medium is in another discipline, providing artists with the opportunity to combine the conceptual and narrative possibilities of the book arts into other art forms. Through this program, Minnesota artists of diverse disciplines have created book arts projects that challenge and redefine conventional notions of book form and content.
