Call for Participants: Following the success of the inaugural Liverpool Artists’ Book Fair in 2014, we are now accepting applications for the second major Liverpool Artists’ Book Fair, which will be held on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th July 2015. The Fair will take place in Liverpool’s spectacular refurbished Central Library, and will be free to the public. We are also interested to receive proposals for workshops and talks to take place over the two days.

Liverpool Book Art are excited to announce that following the success of the inaugural Artists' Book Fair in 2014, the second major Liverpool Artists' Book Fair will be held in the spectacular refurbished Liverpool Central Library on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th July 2015. There will be around 30 tables of artists' work for sale.

For 2015, we are also looking at holding workshops (for children) and complementary artists' talks: discussions with the venue on these are still to be finalised.

We are not curating a complementary exhibition in 2015, but plan to do so again in 2016.
