Liverpool Book Art and Liverpool John Moores University are delighted to announce a new Book Art exhibition to be held in Liverpool, entitled ‘Where Artists and Texts Meet’. Entry to the public is free.
This exhibition marks a new collaboration between Liverpool Book Art (LBA) and Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The exhibition will be held in LJMU’s Mount Pleasant Campus Library, which provides specialist subject support to courses within the Faculty of Society and Culture.

The range of artists books in the exhibition is extensive, embracing:
• Works inspired by existing texts of literature or poetry
