The Jaffe Center for Book Arts is here to serve the Florida Atlantic community and the broader community, too. The Jaffe Center is open to on-site visitors, but we do recommend appointments. Our general visitation and research hours are Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. To schedule an appointment, please call (561) 297-4189 or fill out the form at the bottom of this page. Community groups and classes are welcome in the Book Arts Gallery at an ideal capacity of 8 to 24 individuals, but we can bend the rules a bit in either direction.

You may use the form at the bottom of this page to schedule an appointment, or to inquire about a small group visit to the Jaffe Book Arts Gallery, or to book a Book Arts Roadshow for your larger community group.

Visit our EVENTS and WORKSHOPS pages to take part.

If it's not practical for your group to come to JCBA, we can come to you. Our Book Arts Roadshow, which is our current on-the-road celebration of artist's books, generally lasts about 90 minutes and includes our 25-minute video and a rolling suitcase chock-full of artists' books. Roadshow stops are suitable for groups of up to 50 and we even include a simple handmade book project: we'll teach each person how to make a folded structure book from a single sheet of paper. We're happy to include stops on the Book Arts Roadshow anywhere in South Florida (and sometimes beyond). The fee for the Roadshow in Palm Beach & Broward Counties is $350, and $500 for Miami-Dade County (to cover travel costs). For more information or to schedule a Roadshow, please email John Cutrone, JCBA Director.

DIRECTIONS & PARKING

JCBA is located on the third floor east of Florida Atlantic University's Wimberly Library. From I-95 or the Florida Turnpike, exit Glades Road, east. The FAU campus is located just east of I-95. If you enter the campus at FAU's main entrance (the one furthest west on Glades Road... and the first you'll see approaching from I-95), you will enter on West University Drive. Continue straight on West University Drive to the traffic light at Volusia Street. Turn right onto Volusia Street. Parking Garage 1 is on Volusia Street, and the Wimberly Library is the next building east.

The I-95 interchange for Florida Atlantic University (Exit 48A) takes you directly from the interstate to FAU. Once you pass the traffic light at Spanish River Boulevard, you are on the FAU campus on FAU Boulevard. Continue to the traffic signal at the intersection of FAU Boulevard and University Drive (FAU Stadium will be on your right). Turn right onto University Drive. Turn left at the traffic signal at Volusia Street. Parking Garage 1 is on Volusia Street, and the Wimberly Library is the next building east.

Visitors to the FAU campus must pay at the meters or use the ParkMobile app (or visit https://parkmobile.io/) to park on campus. Both are available 24/7. Parking is $2.50 per hour. Vehicles must be parked nose-in.

Visitors using the ParkMobile app or website may park in any yellow or blue lot. Blue spots are designated by normal white lines on the ground. Parking Garage 1, which is the garage adjacent to the Library, is a blue lot. The ParkMobile parking zone for the library's parking lot (Lot 19/20) is Zone 6927. The parking zone for Parking Garage 1, which is the building just west of the library, is Zone 6931.

Vehicles paying by physical meter must park in the yellow metered lot and spaces. These will have yellow lines on the ground as well as “Pay By Plate” signs in front of each. These are found in Lot 19 in front of the Library. Find a campus map here: Maps (fau.edu)
