Call for Submissions

Artist's Books - Call for Submissions
The Nova Scotia Book Arts Group will be presenting an exhibit of artist's books at The Craig case galleries during the month of November 2026. We invite interested creatives within the Nova Scotia book arts community to submit recent work in the form of handmade artist's books for inclusion in this exhibit. (Nova Scotia artists can be either current, previous, or occassional residents of Nova Scotia!) Submissions are now being accepted. Please use this Online Submission Form or contact us directly by email: novascotiabookarts@gmail.com. Submission deadline: Oct 1st The title of the show is "Broken Spines: Books as Art." The objective of the exhibit is to showcase the artist's book as a medium for artistic expression where book form and/or technique are an integral part of an artistic piece. What is an artist's book? An artist's book is a work of art in book form. Unlike a traditional book, an artist's book is usually a unique art object that challenges traditional notions of what a book can be through its creative use of material and content and/or its manipulation of traditional form and structure.
