Overview

To celebrate Melbourne’s innovative publishing scene, the NGV is hosting an Art Book Fair, the first of a series of annual art book events developed by one of Melbourne’s most impressive galleries. Both local and national publishers will feature in the fair that lasts all weekend, with special international guest Printed Matter (USA), who will be making their Australian debut. For this art book event there will be a curated focus on Japanese publishing, so if you’re keen to see what’s going on in the overseas publishing world, make sure you drop by.

Along with the many stalls you will be able to peruse and purchase from, there will also be free talks, forums and performances running all weekend. As much as we adore acquiring art books, they often a bit hefty and can be troublesome to carry home. Our hot tip would be to mosey over to the NGV and pick up one of the official tote bags for a cool $5, making your life a heck of a lot easier and much more stylish.
