All proceeds support ABAC’s educational programming and outreach in Central Texas. Over 40 workshops are scheduled this fall for children and adults, with concentrations in bookbinding, letterpress printing, and paper making, just to name a few. In addition, the event serves to raise awareness of ABAC’s quest to establish a new space. The Flatbed Press & Gallery building, where Austin Book Arts Center is located, will be demolished soon after February 2019. ABAC will launch a fundraising campaign to assist in the search, build out, and promotion of a new studio, all while continuing to offer the excellent, valuable, and unique programming that ABAC is known for.
Please feel free to print out and bring your PayPal receipt, but all tickets will be held at Check-in the night of the event at the Austin Public Library.
