Deadline to submit: September 15, 2020
2020 has been an unprecedented year. A worldwide pandemic forced many Americans into their homes for months and continues to hugely affect how we live and make our living; an egregious act of police brutality was met with massive protests across America (and beyond) and galvanized the anti-racist movement; and a lack of leadership has left many anxious and frightened of the future. For this year’s Members’ Exhibition, the Philadelphia Center for the Book wants to know: how have you responded to These Times? What work, in book form or not, have you made since the start of 2020? This work might be a direct reaction to the events of the world, or a response to your changing environment as you have sheltered-in-place. However world events have affected your life, they no doubt have influenced your creative process. We invite you to share this work in our first ever online exhibition.
- Participating artists must be a current member of the Philadelphia Center for the Book.
- Work must have been produced in 2020.
- Work is not limited to books and book objects.
- Images or videos of work will be accepted on our digital platform.
Submissions close September 15, 2020, with an exhibition opening online in October. This exhibition is open to PCB members only. Apply online using our Google Form.
