Notes

"INCA Press hopes to reach wide, diverse, and unexpected reading audiences, and as such, is very honored to support the A.R.T. Library Program."
Library Program Questionnaire: Perpich Center for Arts Education
"A.R.T. offers books that I myself wouldn't have considered purchasing because I hadn't heard of the artist until discovering it on its catalog. They are also books that many of the libraries in my state do not own, so I am providing materials to the entire state of Minnesota that the public did not previously have access to."
Library Program Questionnaire: Wattis Institute
"The A.R.T. Library Program is a great opportunity for us to reach a broader audience, introducing them not only to the artists and ideas in our publications, but also to the Wattis itself."
