Prepairing for the Arrival of more Altered Books...

Sat Nov 12, 2011, 5-8pm SamPoe Gallery will be hosting the Altered Books show to benefit Friends of the Copper Queen Library. Over 30 altered books, by almost as many artists, will be up for auction. Preparations are underway and Poe has devised some wonderful ways to display the books with his signature style. Come see and be seen, Nov 12 at 5!

We encourage you to explore the altered book genre, a unique and clever medium. Here are some examples by an anonymous artist in Norway who sparked a delightful mystery:
