23 Sandy Gallery / Maternal Legends: A Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Artist Books / Call for Artists 

Maternal Legends. Mothers, grandmothers, sisters, stories, histories, legends, legacies. What did we learn from our mothers and their mothers and their mothers? What are the stories that have been passed down through the generations? How did the women in our family shape who we are today? Let’s explore and celebrate our Maternal Legends through the magic of artist books. This exhibit is open to book arts related artworks created as either edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects, altered books, zines or broadsides are encouraged. Any medium, any style.  This exhibition will be juried by Cara List who is the artist books librarian at the Art and Architecture Library at the University of Oregon. One artwork chosen by the jurors will be awarded a purchase prize. That work will be purchased and donated to the artist book collection at the University of Oregon. This exhibit will run December 5, 2008 – January 3, 2009 at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Contact Laura Russell. www.23sandy.com. 503-927-4409.
