Studio Tlacuilo + Library is located in the House of RAD, 900 E. Keefe Ave. in Milwaukee's Riverwest Neighborhood.  The studio is a work in progress and as I begin to expand my practice I will be building a library that will be filled with only artist's books, handmade books and books created by Tlacuilo.  Tlacuilo is the Nahuatl word describing the bookmakers, painters and writers.  

​

Studio Tlacuilo will offer classes in the future.  There will also be an open call for artists to contribute to the library. 

​

Studio Tlacuilo + Library will later expand into a book mobile. 

​

Studio Tlacuilo + Library holds respect to the Tlacuilo who have come before, the codices that still remain from pre-Conquest, written during the 15th and 16th Century and all of the codices that are still to be written. Studio Tlacuilo + Library wants to remind the communidad that Libraries belong to everyone and that We Are The Bookmakers/ Somos Tlacuilos.  We welcome all to enjoy the offerings and research by and from Celeste Contreras.
