WNY Book Arts Center

The WNY Book Arts Center (Book Arts) seeks to promote, encourage and develop printing and book related arts through education and access for individual artists and underserved communities - through active programs such as exhibitions & studio residencies, lectures, workshops, celebrating all facets of the printed word and image - printmaking, papermaking, bookbinding, and more. With your help, Book Arts can continue providing artistic access & opportunity, and arts education workshops for children and families right in our neighborhoods.

Book Arts serves thousands of community members each year through our gallery program highlighting New York State artists, artisan gift shop, and unique hands-on arts education programs for all ages and skill levels - from children experiencing the joy of making their first book by hand to lifelong creatives exhibiting their work.

Our Mission: The WNY Book Arts Center promotes greater understanding of printing and book-related arts through education, creation, and exhibition for a broad and diverse community.
