Dais Books

Dais Books is an independent publisher devoted to making artists’ books in small editions with handmade qualities. Each unique publication is a limited-edition object that stems from an intimate and collaborative effort between artists and designers. We aim to showcase visual artists dedicated to experimenting with innovative visual communication methods through a limited circulation of beautifully produced and highly collectible books. ​From its inception, Dais Books has been committed to raising the voices of artists who have traditionally been left on the periphery of the fine-art community by funding and hand-producing a monograph of their work in direct collaboration with the artists themselves. From our staff to the artists and organizations Dais works with, we are fully committed to uplifting the voices of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and Womxn in Visual Art. 

Dais Founder, Shawn Bush, is available for book design consignments and editing opportunities for artists exploring considered  tactile publishing approaches.
