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.

We had over 90 entries in 2020 and had to put the images into two galleries. If you are looking at the large sized images you will miss the second gallery, so please click on the image with the yellow accordion book to see close-ups of the rest.

Note: If you sent me images and don’t see them below please email Katie@kalbookarts.org.
