Save the date – Bristol Artist’s Book Event

Sat 29th – Sun 30th June 2024

Dear artists, publishers, collectors, browsers…

Please make a note to save the date for our next Bristol Artist’s Book Event at Bower Ashton which will take place over the weekend of Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June 2024 in Bristol, UK.

The first Bristol Artist’s Book Event (BABE) was organised by Sarah Bodman and Tom Sowden in collaboration with Peter Begen and Snoozie Claiden at Arnolfini in 2007. It has since grown into an international event showcasing artists’ books to the public over a weekend every two years.

We will be sending out a call for exhibitor applications in late September. If you would like to exhibit but aren’t on the mailing list, email Sarah before mid-September to receive a form.

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. We hope you can come along as a visitor or an exhibitor.
