COVID-19 challenge A (virtual) Invitation In this time of confinement, it is important to find ways to stay connected and what better way for us at CBBAG Ottawa than to invite you to join a virtual show & tell and to share our mutual interest in the book arts with the world.... We are curious to see how the current unprecedented situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected your projects in the book arts. Has your production stopped or flourished, changed, or stayed the same? What have you been working on or thinking of doing since mid-February? How has our new reality influenced your work? We also challenge you to produce works with the pandemic and confinement in mind. This ongoing Show & Tell will be presented in an online exhibit on the Omeka CBBAG Ottawa publishing platform. If you accept to participate, you can include works created or in process since mid-February 2020. Our organizer, Roxanne Lafleur, will upload the content upon receipt. Written texts about the book arts are also accepted. To participate: https://cbbagottawa.ca//u/2020/05/CBBAGOttawa-COVID-19.pdf Or consult our Website: www.cbbagottawa.ca

Due to COVID-19 the Ottawa Book Arts Show and Sale has unfortunately been cancelled. We had hoped to have it run this year but that will not happen. Full refunds have been issued. We do hope to re-schedule for October 2021. We hope everyone is pulling through these trying times together even though we are apart.... Spike Minogue CBBAG-OV President

"If you're a lover of art books, we've got a helpful tip for you: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum offers more the 200 exhibition catalogs that you can download... from its archives for free! [...] Many of these volumes are associated with shows (both artist monographs and group exhibits) that are themselves considered major milestones in the development of 20th-century art history."
