The Northwoods Set Book Project

In the Fall of 2024, the museum opened the Northwoods Set Book Project, the first special exhibit presented within the museum’s Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery, bringing closer together newer community work and the work within the museum’s permanent collections. It’s the first of a growing line-up of temporary shows housed within the museum’s principal art gallery. UAMN Director of Exhibits, Design and Digital Media, Roger Topp met with Northwoods Book Arts Guild members Susan Campbell, Margo Klass, and Corlis Taylor – at Margo’s, around the dining table where they had tea and cookies, and talked about the Book Guild, this exhibit, and what cooking next.

The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
