It’s that time of year again! We are well under way, planning for the production of the 2023 Anthology and this letter is your invitation to be a part of it. If you plan to contribute to the anthology, you must let us know by completing this form so that we can track this project more efficiently.
The Anthology:
The Wayzgoose Anthology is a limited edition, hand-bound book composed of signatures contributed from exhibitors and other presses and artists in limited printings. The hand of the maker should be visible in each signature, whether it be hand set type, handmade paper, hand printed artwork, etc. Each artist or group of artists who contributes a set of signatures for the Anthology will receive two copies of the 2023 Anthology in return.
Sizing:
The page size should be 8.5”x5.5” and 4-8 pages in length. PLEASE NOTE: If your signature is smaller than 8.5” x 5.5” you must put it in an outside sleeve of that size, or it will not be included. All signatures should be folded and ready for us to collate – do not send unfolded signatures.
Numbering
The 2022 anthology will be in an edition of 115. If you are doing an edition of more than 115 signatures, for example, so that you can sell some as individual chapbooks – please ensure that we receive numbers 1–115 of your edition. They should be clearly numbered, preferably not on the inner pages as this makes collating more time consuming, and organized in the correct numerical order.
Deadline:
Signatures should be submitted by Friday February 24, 2023. Please note that we will be returning to the pre-pandemic production of the Anthology to have it available for sale at our Wayzgoose event in April. This means we will be unable to give the same submission extensions as we have been able to accomodate the past couple years.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at the Gallery (905-945-3246) or (gpag@grimsby.ca). We look forward to hearing from you!
