Artists are invited to celebrate the great artist book tradition of John Baldessari and Edward Ruscha by bringing a book they've made, or a favorite artist book, for a portrait by photographer Gaea Woods. Attendees will receive a free copy of the ForYourArt Guide to Los Angeles with personal and satirical tours of the city made by the seven Los Angeles Project artists especially for the guide. Signed copies of the Los Angeles Project books, co-edited by Karen Marta and Brian Roettinger, will be available, and cookies will be served.
