Launching an ambitious cycle of educational programming can be daunting, especially when the subject of it is unavailable. With some perseverance, flexibility, and a lot of collaboration, the obstacles can be surmounted and the art can shine through. Cathy Callaway examines the Artists' Book Conference entitled "Cultural Bricolage," which refers to both the mash-up of cultures (e.g., Cuban and American, along with the other cultures represented in the diverse texts of the books) as well as the creation or construction of the artists' books from a diverse range of materials. Artists' books are works of art in the form of a book, but this simplified definition does not do the varied works justice (Burkhart, 2006). As the educator at the Museum of Art and Archaeology on the campus of the University of Missouri, Callaway along with other staff members fell in love with and wanted to be a part of more than 100 artist books that arrived at the Museum. She knew that they would easily lend themselves to educational programs suited for all ages because the books are so appealing. In this article Calloway describes some of these works, as well as the events and programs that were designed around them. She also describes in general terms how teachers, art educators, and museum educators can work together to create programming that meets curriculum requirements and involves the community.
