The Or Gallery is pleased to be returning to the Vancouver Art Book Fair!
The Vancouver Art Book Fair —Canada’s first and longest-running international art book fair—returns to the Vancouver Art Gallery from October 13 to 15, 2017. Opening with the Member’s Preview and open Reception on October 13, the fair runs from 12pm to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, is free and open to the public and showcases the work of over 100 publishers and artists through exhibitor booths, hourly talks, performances and artists’ projects.
At the heart of the fair is a selection of local, national and international artists, illustrators, designers, publishers, collectives and artist-run centres who display books, magazines, zines, chapbooks and print ephemera. With such an array of exhibitors, guests are guaranteed to discover artists, writers, publishers and/or publications they have not encountered previously.
