After Hours Tour

Join Book Arts Roundtable Coordinator Chris Schorr and METC Curator Claudette Stecher Lopez on March 5 at 7 PM for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the BOOKED 20 exhibition. Together, they will guide guests through the gallery while sharing insights into the creative process behind each remarkable work.

As a longtime Madison resident, Chris Schorr has dedicated more than a decade to the Book Arts Roundtable of New Jersey. Over the years, she has built meaningful relationships with the artists featured in BOOKED 20 and understands the passion that fuels their work. Because she helped organize the exhibit, she offers a unique perspective on how each piece came together.

Meanwhile, Claudette Stecher Lopez brings her curatorial expertise to deepen the experience and highlight the exhibition’s broader artistic context. She will explain how the show evolved, why certain works stand out, and how book arts continue to push creative boundaries. Throughout the evening, both presenters will share stories that connect materials, techniques, and artistic intention.

In addition, attendees will gain rare access to behind-the-scenes details that a typical gallery visit cannot provide. Rather than observing from a distance, guests will engage directly with the ideas shaping contemporary book arts in New Jersey. Consequently, this event offers an enriching opportunity for artists, collectors, and curious community members alike.

Whether you already appreciate book arts or want to explore something new, this tour will expand your understanding and spark inspiration. By the end of the evening, you will view the exhibition with fresh insight and greater appreciation for the craftsmanship involved.

Admission is $10 per person; members attend free of charge. Reserve your spot below and experience BOOKED 20 through the eyes of those who shaped it.
