Save the date: BABE 2026

Dear artists, publishers, collectors and visitors…

Please make a note to save the date for our next Bristol Artist’s Book Event at UWE Bristol’s City Campus at Spike Island which will take place over Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June 2026.

BABE is an international event showcasing artists’ books to the public over a weekend every two years. Since its first outing, BABE has established a great reputation as a relaxed and friendly event to meet and talk to book artists about their work and buy works of art. More information on previous editions of BABE can be found here.

We hope you can come along as a visitor or an exhibitor. If you would like to exhibit please email Sarah to go onto the list for a booking form to be sent to you in December: Sarah.Bodman@uwe.ac.uk
