CBAA Distinguished Career Award
2025 Call for NOMINATIONS: Distinguished Career Award
CBAA’s mission is to support and promote academic book arts education by fostering the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism. The CBAA Career Awards seek to recognize individuals whose accomplishments continue to have a significant impact on the teaching and study of book art.
The Distinguished Career Award is granted to an individual who has contributed sustainably and significantly to the development of the field over the course of their career. Such impact may be demonstrated through diverse means: education, mentorship, artistic practice, publication, collection curation, founding or sustaining organizations, exhibiting or selling book works, forming connections between fields, broadening book art’s visibility, and otherwise influencing or expanding what we understand as book art. Nominations will be accepted through March 1, 2025.
