Artists' BookMarket, 17–18 February 2018
Deadline: 15/02/2018City: Edinburgh | Region: Midlothian | Country: United Kingdom | Fruitmarket
Artists’ BookMarket is The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh's annual celebration of artists’ book culture. Over two busy weekend days, stalls are laid out across two floors of gallery, with a busy events and workshops programme. Our more than two thousand visitors come from across Scotland and the north of England to make this date with artists' books and artist-led publishing.
This year we are partnering with our neighbour, Stills Centre for Photography to give more space to photographic publishing within the event at their Cockburn Street site. They are hosting applications for this part of the fair and you can click on this link to find out more and to apply.
We will be producing a joint programme of events during the weekend across both spaces.Previous participants include a range from long-term experimental publishers to some of the most interesting new talent from courses at Edinburgh College of Art with its strong teaching traditions in book making and illustration. There’s much local talent on show alongside representation of those who travel to take part in this increasingly prominent fair in the year’s artists book calendar.
We invite publishers, book makers and artists’ books organisations to apply for a stall, which costs £75+VAT. To enquire about running an event or workshop, feel free to pitch using this form, or to get in touch via the contact curator option.
Previous events within the Artists’ BookMarket weekend have included book launches, experimental sound workshops, multi-media poetry readings and a flash fashion show. Many things are possible, and we look forward to hearing the ideas that are going to make this year's programme as much of a surprise to us as to our audience.
Artists’ BookMarket is open 11am–6pm on Saturday 17 February and Sunday 18 February 2018. Expect an excellent weekend of book sales and discoveries. Be part of our strong selection of book makers, art publishers, illustators and designers, and artists working with book forms.
Contact the curatorThis year, book artists/publishers working primarily with photography will be considered as part of Stills Centre for Photography's line-up at their space on Cockburn Street.
