Katherine Cowan started the topic Where to purchase altered books in the discussion
ARLIS/NA Book Art SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 5 months agoHello,
I’m interested in adding some altered books to our book arts collection, and wonder if people can share sources with me (sellers or artists). I have in the past seen nice examples on Etsy but on my recent review there were not a lot that seemed appropriate. I’d like t0 find ones that are sculptural and expertly crafted.Thank you!

Visual Resources Division (VRD) on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 9 months agoHi Mark! I wanted to make sure I responded directly to you just to make sure the information reaches you. The time of the meeting is 2pm CST/3pm CDT/4pm EDT. I originally requested the time just as the clocks were changing and, as a result, have gotten all confused. Thank you for clarifying.

Mark Pompelia replied to the topic Annual Business Meeting Zoom link in the discussion
Visual Resources Division (VRD) on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 9 months agoHmmm. Good question. SCHED allows you to choose your own timezone. Selecting Eastern (Daylight) has our meeting starting at 5pm. Kelin’s message states 4pm Eastern (Standard, which is an error). So does it start at 4pm or 5pm EDT?
Thanks,
Mark
