Events and Public Programs You'll find a wealth of public programs at the San Francisco Center for the Book. Many are free events. Events create opportunities for the community to cultivate ties with professional and amateur book artists, writers and scholars; share the pleasures of letterpress printing, bookbinding, letterforms and artists' books with a broader audience and create an exciting dialogue between makers, collectors and connoisseurs.

Join us as we celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition in the Austin/Burch Gallery. Exploding the Codex is a group show featuring the works of over 40 book artists from the collection of Mary Austin, curated by Daisy Carlson. The show explores the theater of the book and storytelling through structure. These books go beyond the traditional format to unveil new ways of presenting and telling stories. Often theatrical or stage-like in their presentation, they pull the viewer into their individual dramas and diverse varieties of form and presentation. |
