Bookstars Meet Update

A couple of updates and a bit more info from Karen on last week's meeting...

A Residency

Plans for a book artist residency at Hot Bed Press are under discussion at the moment. This will be a position organised in conjunction with one of our sponsors, Ratchford Ltd. Applicants will be expected to submit a portfolio and a proposal. More information will become available in the new year – keep an eye on the HBP website.

Manchester Artists Book Fair 2010

Hot Bed Press are running the Manchester Artists Book Fair this year – it will be held as usual in the Holden Gallery of MMU, on Saturday 6 November from 10am to 6pm. As we did last year, Bookstars will be hiring two tables.

We’re hoping that everyone who wants to will be able to have their books represented – we ask £10 per person to cover costs – although if there is overwhelming interest, we might have to select (if that happens and you’re work isn’t chosen, obviously you won’t be expected to pay). The idea is that we bring along our work to the October meeting, giving us some time before the fair to get organised. We’ll put out another request for work before then, but meanwhile get to work on your masterpieces.

Of course, you can always hire a table for yourself if you would like to. The cost is £60 per table – please get in touch with Karen Mercer at the HBP office on any Thursday.
