CHANGE OF DATES FOR THE VERNISSAGE: Open from saturday 26 April 2014 at 17h00.

It is not unusual that Belgian writers are not known as “Belgian” authors,even in their own country. Therefore, ARA Belgica, in cooperation with the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, decided to enhance the Belgian literary world through its coming event.
The Bibliotheca Wittockiana, renowned for its outstanding standards and know-how with regard to binding techniques, is the ideal place to host such a prestigious collection of classic or contemporary literature.
All literary genres : novels, short stories, essays, poetry, etc... are welcome.
If any doubts, ARA Belgica will help you to identify the Belgian authors.

The bindings
The participants may present one up to three bindings that have never been part of an exhibition or a competition before.
Jansenist bindings will not be accepted.

Jury
The bindings will be submitted to an external jury, designated jointly by ARA Belgica and Bibliotheca Wittockiana. Its composition will be released at a later stage.
Its decision will be sovereign and final and will carry out a versatile presentation of authors and kinds of bindings.
In case the demand exceeds the available exhibition space, the jury will have to make an additional selection.

Still 15 copies of" Escaliers de Québec": 3 / 25 and 12 H.C.

Quebec City boasts nearly 30 sets of outdoor stairs that link the Upper Town with the Lower Town of the Old City. Each stairway has its own name, personality and history. The oldest one is the "Escalier Casse-Cou" ("Neck Breaker Staircase"); it appears on architectural plans dating back to 1660. The longest one is the "Escalier du Cap-Blanc" staircase, leading to the Plaines of Abraham, with its 398 stairs.

A remarquable book, Les escaliers de Québec, was published in 2008 as a joint venture between an author, a designer and a fine press master, to celebrate Quebec’s 400e anniversary. The accordeon book, or leporello, was hand set and printed on Somerset rag paper (250 g) in an edition of 25 copies, numbered 1 to 25, plus 12 hors-commerce copies, numbered 1 to 12. The type is Garamond 14 and Garamond bold 14. Each copy is illustrated by 11 original drawings. This is a truly unique artist book.

ARA-Canada invites bookbinders from all around the world, member and non-member, to purchase a copy of Les escaliers de Québec, and enter the exhibition to be held in fall 2012. Do not wait any longer, the copies will not last long.
