Welcome to the bookshop! Making books with artists is central to the Carpenter Center’s mission.
Our publishing program complements our commission-based curatorial program, with a focus on new scholarship and texts, and an artist-involved design process. We publish a few books a year, and release a new tote bag design annually, so please check back for new totes and titles!
