Book Arts Residency
The Book Arts Residency program at Booksmart Studio is designed to provide up-and-coming photographers an opportunity to work in a studio setting and have both the time and resources needed to focus all of their energies on publishing a Fine Edition Book. As anyone who has published a book themselves knows how much time and work a book requires, Booksmart Studio will collaborate with the selected artist and guide them through all of the stages of publishing an artists' book.
Information about the 2011 Book Arts Residency is forthcoming, please check back.
