Beyond the Book has been presenting exhibitions of book art in the greater Boston area since 2006. This upcoming exhibition will feature artist's books about books—book art inspired by a favorite novel, a book of poetry, an author, a library. The exhibition will feature over 100 works of art by over 30 artists from around New England as well as the work of artists in New York, Texas — and even Belgium!

This exhibition is a joint effort involving both the Faneuil and Brighton Branches of the Boston Public Library. Works are distributed between the two branches.

Hours and directions for the Faneuil Branch Library, 419 Faneuil St, Oak Square, Brighton MA are here: https://www.bpl.org/locations/23/

Hours and directions for the Brighton Branch Library, 40 Academy Hill Rd., Brighton Center, Brighton MA are here: https://www.bpl.org/locations/15/

Parking for the Faneuil Library is available at the Presentation School Foundation lot, diagonally across Oak Square from the library. Enter from Tremont St., just past the bus shelter. The Brighton Library has a parking lot; from Washington Street go up Chestnut Hill Ave. and enter on the left, just past the Brighton Courthouse.

Exhibition Programming: There will be a series of exhibition-related programs offered at both branches. Please stay tuned for details. Ronni Komarow of FOFL coordinated this exhibition.

Cosponsored by The Friends of the Faneuil Branch Library (FOFL), and supported by the UNESCO/UNITWIN Network on Gender, Culture, & People-Centered Development of Boston University's Women's and Gender Studies Program.
