Closer Reading: Three Bay Area Book Artists

Curated by Anthea Black, Closer Reading features three Bay Area book artists: Macy Chadwick, Kate Laster, and Vivian Sming. Each artist represents a different definition of “the book as art,” and a distinct approach to working with artists’ books as their primary medium. The exhibition is on view at the CCA Campus Gallery September 2–October 23, 2026.
