Founded in 1974 and located in Rosendale New York, the Women’s Studio Workshop mission is to operate and maintain an artists’ workspace that encourages the voice and vision of women and trans, intersex, nonbinary, and genderfluid artists. Many professional opportunities are provided for artists at various stages of their careers and promote programs designed to stimulate public involvement, awareness, and support for the visual arts.

The Women’s Studio Workshop has a distinct focus on the creation and preservation of artists’ books. It has studios and faculty that support all aspects of bookmaking and offers residencies for artists as well as a variety of workshops. This exhibit showcases a selection of artists’ books from the Art Special Collection, produced by artists who attended the workshops and residencies. Each book is unique and utilizes diverse techniques and concepts.
