Friedli Gallery’s April Book Arts Exhibition showcases Book Arts in a one-of-a-kind exhibition curated by nationally acclaimed book artist Erin Maurelli. We pride ourselves in last year’s show featuring artists from across the United States. Friedli Gallery’s Book Arts Exhibition highlights artist explorations of the idea of a book as an art object. This year’s submissions to the Friedli Gallery’s Book Arts Exhibition, seeks to expand viewer knowledge of the book arts here in the Twin Cities Metro and beyond, broadening artist reach to collectors, artists and art appreciators. Works we hope to connect with collectors and our audience include fine press, zines, ephemera, sculptural book works, book art installations, and more!
