Another unique exhibit is the Art of the Book show at the 4 Square Gallery. On display are books created by artists. The subjects vary from those that lean toward more traditional type books to objects that one would not immediately recognize as a book. The show opened last week and will run through March 14. Most of the books are one-of-a-kind and all are limited editions. The books reflect the artists’ individual interpretation of what a book is. Artists showing are Ellen Andes, Tanya Johnston, Sean Fitzgibbon, Michael Peven, Lesha Shave, Patsy Watkins, Nichelle Wilson-Parish, Cindy Wiseman, Michael Shipley, Ben Buonaioto and Sage Billing. |

Paper wrapper, staple bound. Offset printed in color. Signed but unnumbered. A set of six oversize styled matchbooks feature well known US landmarks and monuments on the front flip cover.
