About Artist’s Eye Books
Artist’s Eye Books is founded and run by a group of local artists. Being artists, they understand how difficult it can be to get exposure and exhibition time.

Artist’s Eye has teamed up with a local independent publisher who is delighted to be able to organize the publishing and printing aspects of the project. The publisher has a track record of creating good-quality printed books.

Deadline: 29 May 2020
Held in the hand, a book can be a source of stability in unsettled times. Tactile and olfactory, the black and white pages conjure emotions and images that endure longer than flickering light on small screens. From tablet to folio, papyrus to scroll, song to psalm—all are created as a concept that becomes thought, word, book, or sculpture. These objects, in an increasingly digital world, stubbornly survive. The objects in this exhibition will interpret the concept of the book. They will invite the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where ideas, words, and symbols are transformed and are transfigurative. They are expressive, expansive, and iconic and have become form and are infinite.
The Book As Art Artist Benefits
The Book as Art v. 8.0: Infinity’s location at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library is just off the Decatur Square, ideally accessible to the more than 85,000 attendees at the Festival and to visitors throughout the run of the show. Several events are planned throughout the run of the show. The DAA will sponsor an opening and juror’s talk on August 28. The library is planning programming including a White Glove Night connected to the closing party on October 16. Viewers can enjoy close-up examination of the artwork and hear selected artists discuss their work. DAA encourages exhibiting artists to attend these functions when possible.

- Second Place Award – $700.00
- Third Place Award – $500.00
- Merit Award – $100.00
