OCAD Presents the 24th Annual Book Arts Fair
On Saturday, December 6, 2008, the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) holds its 24th annual Book Arts Fair, where, in time for the holiday season, visitors can browse and purchase hand-printed and bound books, prints, artist multiples, handmade paper and cards, buttons, totes, letterpress posters and much more.
Fifty one book artists, printmakers, very small publishers, ‘zine’ makers, OCAD students, professional artists, letterpress printers, papermaking and printmaking suppliers, and cooperative print shops will all be on hand offering unique gifts, collectors items and other treasures. The OCAD Book Arts Fair is a long-running annual venue for showcasing book arts, a passionate, underground form of visual arts that has been growing in popularity.
In addition to the browsing the items for sale, visitors can tour OCAD’s five printmaking studios and check out our current students work. On display in the Great Hall is the work of our 2008 graduating printmakers PROOF “Print Thesis: Work in Progress. Proceeds from mounting the Fair, and from donations and the sale of raffle tickets support student book artists and printmakers in OCAD’s Printmaking program.
