Minnesota Center for Book Arts

Welcome to Minnesota Center for Book Arts: the place to feed your curiosity, stretch your creativity
and get your hands dirty through the book arts. From the traditional crafts of papermaking, letterpress
printing and bookbinding to non-traditional artmaking and self-publishing techniques, MCBA celebrates
the book as a vibrant contemporary art form that takes many shapes.
