An artists' book is a medium in which to convey artistic expression using the form and function of a book as the point of inspiration - a book that is a work of art in itself. Students, faculty, and community members are all invited to submit entries. For more information, please contact Jaimi Parker at Jaimi.Parker@unt.edu.
