The Newport
Paper and Book Art Festival (NPBAF) celebrated its 25th anniversary (a
year late) in April. It was very well attended by 18 NORBAG members, including
four who were also instructors (Donna Gephart, Dolores Guffey, Margo Klass and
Sandy Vrem). Every one of the 19 classes offered had at least one NORBAG member
in attendance. To view a short video showing scenes from the festival through
the years, visit:

There was a wonderful art exhibit at the Visual Arts Center that featured work
by many current and former festival attendees. Works by several NORBAG members
were included. A 50-minute video tour of the exhibit, hosted by Cheri Aldrich
and Sandy Williams, is worth seeing.
