Turn your old books into a unique piece of art...
An altered book is a book that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. They can be rebound, painted, cut, burned, folded, added to, collaged in, gold-leafed, rubber stamped, drilled, or otherwise adorned. There are no rules to altered book art. Let your imagination soar for your "Unbound Treasure"!
Last year the Altered Books Contest received over 40 entries, and the Gwinnett County Public Library’s partnership with the Hudgens Center for the Arts was awarded an Honorable Mention for Arts Partnership by Artworks! Gwinnett for their collaboration on the 2011 Altered Books contest and Pulp Fashion exhibit.
