Artists’ books are conceived as works of art in their own right and employ the unique expression of an artist’s design, words and images. In Power of the Page: Artists Books as Agents for Change, artists’ books tell stories of liberty and give voice to the call for justice. Narratives range from personal to public, from mythical to political. NUMU is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization tax ID 94-1619601 "Art Books" "3-D Books" "Paper Art" "Social awareness"
