The Illustrated Accordion exhibition focuses on books created in the accordion form. The structure of an accordion book is simple: a long piece of paper is folded into pages that can be read like a book or spread open and displayed like a banner. Featuring works of book artists from all over the world, the books in this exhibit take this book form to a new level. Every book that has been entered in previous Illustrated Accordion exhibits are available to view through our website.


There are two galleries of images from this exhibition. Please make sure your scroll down to see both. If you double click on any image it will enlarge and you will see the info about the book. When you finish the first gallery in the enlarged view, you will have to double click on a book from the second gallery to see the info about those books.

If you’d like to purchase a book please contact Katie@kalbookarts.org.
