25 YEARS of the JAFFE COLLECTION
2025 brings an important milestone for Book Arts Enthusiasts: It's the 25th
anniversary of the opening of the Jaffe Collection, the seed that grew into the
Jaffe Center for Book Arts.
Arthur & Mata Jaffe wielded the giant scissors at the ribbon cutting ceremony on the
sixth day of January 2000, and here we are, 25 years later, so grateful for your support
all these years. We've got plans for small celebrations throughout this important year,
starting off with an exhibition opening and gallery talk with book artist Karen Hanmer
on Sunday afternoon, February 16.

Dear Friends,
We've built such a wonderful global community since we began beaming Real Mail Fridays
out to the world through our weekly online JCBA Zoom socials, and it is truly humbling
and heartwarming to see friends join us each week and new folks, too, from all corners
of this vast planet. In that spirit, we have no plans to end our weekly Zoom version of
Real Mail Fridays.
