The center also sponsors a travelling exhibition
about autistic, self-taught Idaho artist James
Castle and sells facsimile Castle books and a
special issue of The Journal of Artists’ Books
devoted to Castle.
As well, a facsimile of the first work published
by the first press in the Pacific Northwest
(and oldest surviving Western American press)
‘Idaho’s Lapwai Mission Press’ is also available
from the ICB, as is a video about the history of
that press. ‘Lapwai’ is the Nez Perce word for
‘place of the butterfly,’ a bit of etymology and
entomology, which informs our logo, designed
by Evelyn Phillips of Ketchum, Idaho.
