B.A.G. News
In addition to having our meetings in a new location, there’s more big news – the Book Arts Guild of Vermont is now officially a membership organization!
Your membership will help us to improve and expand our organization’s efforts to act as both an educational and creative resource in the field of book arts. Annual dues are only $35.00 – an annual savings over making a monthly donation to Burlington City Arts.
