Craig Auge
Kansas City, Missouri
In Craig Auge’s work, he explores relationships; the relationship between material, shape, color, gesture and mark-making. These formal explorations potentially speak to relationships with self, each other, and what we call reality. Traditional notions of collage & craft, alternative bookmaking, sculpture, and design merge. Auge is offering a big variety of small and medium collage on paper, collage buttons, a
small selection of collaged objects/sculpture, curated ephemera kits, and a few small, handmade, alternative books. www.craigdeppenauge.com

Ric Kasini Kadour
New Orleans, Louisiana & Montreal, Quebec
Ric Kasini Kadour’s art practice is concept-driven and project-based. He makes a variety of objects–photographs, prints, collage, and sculpture–that he uses to tell stories, often in museum installations. Themes range from epistemology, history, archives, and society’s relationship with art, to more personal themes of intimacy, loss, epiphany and memory that point to an emerging new reality or consciousness. Kadour will have original analog collages for sale at the Market. www.rickasinikadour.com
Stephanie Almendariz can be found weekly at Sacramento, California Midtown Farmers market where she shows her work and hosts pop-up collage workshops. She is bringing that energy to the Collage Art & Book Market, where the collagist will host a Pop-Up Street Art Class for the general public. Stop by, learn, and make some collage! Look for Stephanie outside the Healing Center near the entrance to the New Orleans Food Co-op.

Books are often outcomes of residencies, fellowships, and other projects. www.kolajinstitute.org
