Artists' Book Market at BALTIC

I really enjoyed visiting the Artists Bookmarket at BALTIC, seeing some friendly familiar faces (Theresa Easton, Kim Bevan, Hugh Brydon and Chris Lloyd) from GIAB, and meeting lots of new artist bookmakers.

Bristol Artist Bookfair Event

I timed my trip to coincide with a number of events going on in Bristol, and it was an action packed few days.

The Bristol Artist Bookfair Event (BABE) took place at Arnolfini on Saturday and Sunday.




Spread over three floors, more than 80 artist bookmakers, dealers and small presses from Bristol and around the world came together at Arnolfini to show and sell their work. There was a great variety of work, and it was lovely to catch up with friends from the Artist Book world, many of whom have participated in Glasgow International Artists Bookfair which I co-organised in 2008 and 2010.
