Memberships

Book Arts members are part of a close-knit community of people who appreciate and share a passion for bookmaking, letterpress printing, and related techniques and artforms. As part of this community, members enjoy:

• advance notice, members-only access, and discounts for classes and workshops
• subscriptions to the Book Arts listserv and the Virginia Center for the Book’s monthly e-newsletter
• access to presses, equipment, and resources
• participation in annual Members’ Projects
• use of a spacious, bright, and well-organized shared workspace in Charlottesville
• invitations to special opportunities to meet and hear from book artists
• opportunities to take part in social and collaborative projects
• exhibition opportunities and promotion of work through the Virginia Center for the Book

Member Plus (+$60 per year, or $180 total). A flat file in the Center can be a great way to keep a project moving without all the schlepping. Let your projects stretch out in 24″ x 36″ x 2″ comfort.

Professional Membership (+$180/year, or $300 total). You may use Center resources in creating items for your business or contracting your work/services.

All benefits of membership apply to those pursuing independent for-profit job work.

Please note: Book Arts memberships are fees for access and services, so are not recognized as tax-exempt donations.
