Papers, please.

Book a workshop at one of the Central Coast's most popular annual events, the Newport Paper and Book Arts Festival.

The Newport Visual Arts Center and Oregon Coast Council for the Arts are seeking artists to submit workshop proposals for the 29th festival, taking place on April 23, 24 and 25.

The festival celebrates papermaking and papercraft in all its forms. Organizers are accepting proposals for one- and two-day workshops from artists near and far.

“We welcome new and innovative techniques as well as traditional processes,” said Visual Arts Center Education and Engagement Director Christina Carlsen. “Including, but not limited to, assemblage, book arts, collage, dyeing, mixed media, papermaking, paper manipulation, printing, specialty binding techniques and surface design.”

Interested artists may submit multiple workshop proposals for consideration. Two-day

workshops will be held on Thursday and Friday, April 23 and 24, and one-day workshops will take place on Saturday, April 25.

Proposals should include an indication of how many students the instructor is willing to teach.

Classrooms vary in size, accommodating between eight and 16 students, and final class size will be based on room availability and capacity. Compensation is based on the number of participating students. Instructors will also receive a travel stipend, complimentary lunch on instruction days, room and board assistance for those traveling more than 50 miles, materials fee if any and 10 percent off registration should instructors choose to participate in another workshop during the festival.

The deadline to submit proposals is Wednesday, Oct. 29. Proposal acceptances will be sent via email by mid-November. For more information and workshop proposal forms, go to coastarts.org.
