SF/Arts Curator Insight
In its 53rd Annual Members’ Exhibition, ABM explores the journey of bookmaking possibilities. In addition to recent works by HBC members, visitors can marvel at 15 book art objects made from a Rainbow Pride flag that once flew at Harvey Milk Plaza in San Francisco as well as 14 set books that are singular interpretations of either “Grimoire: New Scottish Folk Tales” or “A Clockwork Diorama,” both Fine Press Poetry titles.
