Special Collections and Archives can host your class for an artists' book class visit! 

A class visit usually can take between 1 to 2 hours. We will work with you to identify a selection of artists' books to pull for the visit and hands-on activities that fit your class objectives. 

Contact us at archives@calpoly.edu to schedule a class visit or ask questions.
