A FREE, ALL-AGES EVENT

Get creative on a Sunday afternoon with itty bitty books during their roadtrip stop in the beautiful Garfield Park neighborhood!

The Tiny Book Show is a cross-country mobile exhibition in a 1965 Covered Wagon travel trailer (photos below). Hundreds of teensy handmade books are inside—all under 3 inches in size! Poets and educators Maya Stein and Amy Tingle, founders of The Creativity Caravan, will also share a unique, hands-on bookmaking workshop with all ages, for free.

Tube Factory artspace will have outdoor picnic tables and indoor (air-conditioned) work spaces, art supplies and mini snacks to share from 11am to 3pm. Everyone is welcome. No registration or experience necessary.
While you’re here and in bookworm mode:

Check out 28 years worth of tiny diary entries of local poet Anne Laker. Her project, “10000 Whens,” is a charming, absurdist collection of her own diaries, reaching back to 1985. See more by finding @10000whens on Instagram or www.10000whens.net

Meet our Garfield Park neighbor Laura McPhee, owner of the unique new book shop, Pen and Pink. Enjoy collections of handmade, vintage and upcycled books, and learn about the processes. Pen and Pink is located at 2435 S. Shelby, with a grand opening on First Friday, July 1st.
