Susan Gold Smith

Susan Gold/Smith is a local artist and professor of visual art at the University of Windsor. For many years she has worked with international correspondence art communities, notions of the gift, and alternative economies for art work.

"Working with Words" is a display of book forms resulting from the collaborations between visual arts and writers. Included are inspiring local and international examples.
