Sketchbook 2011 (the 3rd Sketchbook iteration) is the brainchild project of the Brooklyn Art Library, a facility dedicated to artist books. About Sketchbook 2011: "This is a massive nationwide project...You are not just buying a sketchbook from us. Your submission fee goes to cover the sketchbook, shipping to you, the upkeep of the library and website, manpower, traveling across the country with 1500+ sketchbooks, and much much more."
Please take note that submitted work will be included in the permanent collection of the library and some of it may be published in an Art House book.
There are 30 themes available from which you may choose, or you may have a random theme assigned. Sketchbooks are not juried and all that are submitted will be included in the traveling exhibition.
You must sign up by October 31, 2010

WOW - this seems very interesting!
Kyra, I am so excited about this. Since you don't get your sketchbook returned, I decided to "pony up" the extra $20 to have it digitized. Also "might" do duplicate pages so I'll have a physical copy to keep (that's a big "might" though - grin).
