Friends of Tropic Bound
We’d like to invite you to be part of an inner circle of supporters: the Friends of Tropic Bound!
Your ongoing support enables Tropic Bound to continue bringing book arts to an ever wider and more diverse audience, and helps sponsor programs and initiatives that spread the word about the world of artists’ books.
There are ample ways to support:
Sponsorships bind you directly into the Tropic Bound Artists’ Book fair - and family, exposing your brand, company or yourself to an amazing audience of artists, book sellers, publishers, museum staff, curators, collectors, professors, academic administrators and the general public.
Memberships tie you in to the Tropic Bound family and run on the biennial cycle. Each membership donation goes directly to the upcoming Tropic Bound edition.
The Peer Scholarship Fund is designed to provide financial assistance for qualified exhibitors who would not be able to exhibit at Tropic Bound without financial assistance.
