Open Studio: Artists’ Books Collection

Open Studio is a video series that takes you inside the studios and creative spaces of Banff Centre’s artists. One of the largest collections of Artists’ Books in Canada is tucked away in the Paul D. Fleck Library at Banff Centre. These works of art can be a different way to tell a story, make a statement, and have art be more accessible. They’re an interactive experience where you control the story, and how it unfolds.
