Who is eligible to apply?



Printed Matter’s Fairs strive to showcase a wide range and scope of artists’ books and publishers. Breadth in both the publication format and how you publish (e.g. collective, institutional, DIY, small press), as well as international representation and identity, are taken into consideration during the application review process. 

To be eligible to apply:
  1. You must publish, sell, and/or distribute art books or artists’ books.
  2. Your books must be available for sale, although you may include some free items (i.e. digital works, zines, stickers, etc.). 
  3. You must have a publishing practice, whether large or small in scope. We are looking for demonstrated dedication to bookmaking and an engaging catalog of published works. This Fair is generally not suitable for showcasing a single title or single book project.
