Artists' Book Competition, 2001/2002

Contest: November 2001.

Exhibition: January 30 - February 28, 2002, Rare Book Room, Willis Library

In November of 2001, the Friends of the University of North Texas Libraries organization sponsored its Second Biennial Artists' Book Competition for students. The winner received a purchase award, and his work was added to the Rare Book Collection. 

The exhibit opened with a reception and awards presentation in the Rare Book Room, Willis Library, on January 30, 2002.   In addition to the entries from the contest, other artists' books from the Rare Book & Texana Collections are on display.

We would like to thank the Friends of the UNT Libraries for their sponsorship of this competition and Kelly Donahue-Wallace and Catharine Chauvin of the UNT School of Visual Arts for being part of the panel of judges.

Featured are entries from the award winners and participants.
