Book Box Workshop

April 3, 2026 | 5PM - 6PM

Gene and Cathie Lemon Art Research Library

Every book tells a story, but time, dust, and light can fade the narrative. Join us during April’s First Friday at PhxArt to discover the secrets of book preservation and conservation.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll examine late-1800s volumes from the Museum's Astaire Fashion collection to learn how experts protect history. Then, take home the professional supplies needed to construct a custom box for your own treasured books. This activity is intended for ages 16+ and tickets are complimentary. Space is limited, reserve your seat today!

This workshop is provided with the support of the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation.
