The exhibit runs Nov. 4, 2019 through Feb. 28, 2020, and is open to the public weekdays at no charge, from 9AM to 3PM at the Postal History Foundation Slusser Library, 920 N 1st Ave., Tucson, Ariz. 85719.  Limited free parking is available behind the PHF buildings during hours of operation.

Participating artists are members of the Sonoran collective PaperWorks and San Diego Book Arts, both groups that focus on paper and book arts.
