Lunalux at MCBA’s Book Arts Festival
November 12, 2009 by Jenni
We hope to see you at the Book Arts Festival this Saturday at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. MCBA will be brimming with local artisans (including Lunalux) selling bookish wares: letterpress-printed cards, hand-made papers and journals, fine art prints, limited edition artist books, and other beautiful hand-crafted paper-related treasures. Some exhibitors will be demonstrating their crafts, and there will be hands-on activities for the kids too. This is the 8th year for this event, and every year it’s an absolute pleasure to participate. I would be there even if it weren’t my job! It’s also a good opportunity to check out MCBA’s facilities – explore the space, poke around the shop, linger in the gallery, and pick up a class schedule.
If you’re on the Lunalux snail mail list, you should have received a postcard from us recently, announcing the Book Arts Festival along with upcoming Stationery Saturday dates. It’s been a few months since we sent out a mailer, and we’re pretty pleased with how this one turned out. It’s letterpress-printed in blue and cool gray inks, on light gray felt-finish cover. The brick pattern in the background is from a photo I took this summer, while waiting at a bus stop in Uptown. If you’re not on our mailing list but would like to receive postcards from Lunalux in the future, you can use this contact form to send us a message with your street address; we’ll add you to the list for our next mailing.
The 8th Annual Book Arts Festival takes place Saturday, November 14, 2009, at Minnesota Center for Book Arts (1011 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis), 10a.m.-5p.m. Free, family-friendly and open to all! Bring quarters for the parking meters, just in case the free parking lot is full. You’ll find directions and more information about MCBA on their website at www.mnbookarts.org.
