      About the Shelter in Place Book Exchange

      The Shelter in Place (SIP) artist book exchange was organized by San Diego Book Arts (SDBA) in response to the isolation felt by many artists during the COVID generated quarantines and social distancing in 2020. The organization’s goal was to bring members together via their art, in a time when they could not be
      together in person, and when Zoom meetings were just not enough. Participating artists agreed to create at least 3 original artist’s books, each no larger than 3” X3” when closed, and to exchange them with members of their assigned SIP group. SDBA kept track of which members were in each group, and set exchange deadlines. Fast forward to 2021: The 214 books are completed and have been shared by the 59 participating SDBA members.

      About San Diego Book Arts

      San Diego Book Arts was established in 1996. The
      organization is open to anyone interested in the art of the
      book, and serves as an educational and creative resource
      for the community.
      Each year SDBA typically sponsors free public lectures,
      workshops from internationally recognized artists along with
      free public lectures. SDBA also provides community classes
      to the public through libraries. During the worst of the
      pandemic, SDBA classes converted to using Zoom. The
      organization has looked forward to the return of in-person
      activities.
      SDBA has been fortunate in receiving enthusiastic support
      and recognition from local and national institutions,
      including the University of California, San Diego, the
      Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, San Diego State
      University, the San Diego Public Library, the Japanese
      Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, The Women's Museum of
      California, Francis Parker School, Bonita Museum and
      Cultural Center, and the Durango Arts Center in Colorado.
      This generous cooperation has enabled SDBA to present a
      number of quality exhibitions over the years.
