Flockworks: "Art of Letter, Word & Book" Exhibit opens

Delightfully Rich Exhibit Celebrating Language Awaits...Daily @OddFellows thru Memorial Day

Flockworks 5th Annual "Art of Letter Word & Book" exhibit opens with work of 40 artists plus children from Pt. Arena. Calligraphy, letterpress, artists books, book binding, book humor, book chair, book moths, alphabet play, deconstructed books and much, much more...

Learn about the Little Free Library movement, consider the "Secretary's Nightmare", knock over Book Dominos and talk on a WIND PHONE to those lost and loved. There is also a mini-Used Book Sale, and Otsuchi crafted Benefit items. The exhibit is deep, and you may find yourself needing to come back. Welcome... The show runs daily 11-5 through Memorial Day.

Here are some special opportunities for a special taste of the exhibit...
