Many of our exhibitions are titled with reference to the season, and this title is no exception. As for Falling Upward, it is a hopeful title; let us be attracted by the moon and fall upward toward it as the ancient magicians were, gravitating into an orbit of cool lunacy. We need a fresh perspective!

The current exhibition closes on Dec. 1 with a reception and reading from the books from 2 to 4 PM. After that Sometimes Books will close for two months, perhaps three, while the days are shortest and coldest. Please stay posted for upcoming exhibitions in 2020. 

Falling Upward includes one piece by Eleanor Murray, who passed away recently. She was a frequent contributor to our exhibitions and always a welcome presence at openings and closing events. We will miss her.

It has taken 18 days to get this website in shape. That's 18 days since the show opened. My sincere appology! I hope I have not discouraged too many visitors, but now, at last: the Exhibition title, the dates and all the artists are listed and an image for each is posted on the Current Exhibition page. The current show also features the notebooks that were swapped in last year's Mystery Notebook Swap. The image here is Linda MacDonald's swapped notebook.

Notations / notebooks and more is being installed this week (June 24) and will open on Sunday at Noon. Reception is from 2 to 4 PM.  Please join us!

Check out our new gallery lights installed for the just finished "Art of Staying in Touch." We are hoping to improve our street signs as well.

Our new exhibition opens this Sunday and includes a sure eye-catcher: Lyn Dillin's Dispatches from The Garbage Gyre, plus a good selection of handmade and artful letterpress books. Reception is Sunday, March 17, from 2 to 4 pm.

Books On Hand is turning out to be a very interesting collection of books with lots of hand images as artists dig into their collections of on-hand material. Not to mention new work that's been made specifically for this exhibition. We are also exhibiting work by an artist new to Sometimes Books: Jenny Abel.
