New Editions 2023

New Editions 2023

The Minnesota Center for Book Arts presents a preview party and public sale of new artists' prints and publications in their Main Gallery.

Preview Party:

Attendees get early access to 150+ new prints and publications by artists from across the US—and beyond. 

Last hosted in 2019, this biennial pop-up showcase and sale offers something for everyone, from art lovers to longtime collectors, with items listed at a variety of price points. The ticketed preview party grants you access to the work one day ahead of the public sale, so you can snag those pieces that speak to you.
Tickets include:

  • Food, wine, and craft beer
     
  • Access to artist demos! Heather RJ Fletcher will mesmerize with paper marbling, 2023 McKnight Book Artist Fellow Brien Beidler will add a metallic shimmer to book covers with hot foil stamping, and Bill Myers will crank up the mid-19th century iron hand presses to print modern-day posters.
     
  • A limited edition MCBA tote bag, designed by local screen printer and Artist Collective member Alex Prince, with artwork purchase. (Sneak peek coming soon!)

Plus—a Raffle!

  • Participate in our raffle for a chance to win artsy prizes from local businesses! Purchase raffle tickets with your ticket ($5 each; 5 for $20) or buy them at the door.

Take advantage of the early-bird discount! Preview Party tickets are $50 until Thursday, October 26, and $65 at the door.
