About the organization
Founded in 1983, the Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art and craft of the book. As one of the largest and most comprehensive book arts centers in the United States, MCBA serves as a vital hub for artists, writers, and the public, offering studio access, exhibitions, and educational programs. Its mission is rooted in the belief that the book is a dynamic art form that encompasses traditional and contemporary practices, from letterpress printing and papermaking to digital book arts and artists' books. MCBA fosters a community where experimentation and tradition coexist, encouraging artists to explore the book as a vessel for creative expression.
