Ever wonder what an "art book fair" is all about? Join Inspired BC as we take a tour of Canada's first and longest running art book fair-the Vancouver Art Book Fair (VABF). We talk to VABF’s Jaclyn Arndt (Board Co-Chair), Helen Wong (Fair Coordinator), Sylvana d'Angelo (Artistic Director), Jaz Halloran (Former OCW Magazine Art Director), as well as some exhibitors and presenters to find out what VABF is all about, and learn it’s much more than just books, at its core it is the heart of a community.

VABF is a non-profit organization that seeks to establish Vancouver as an international centre for artists' publishing. Acting as a hub for Vancouver's art publishing communities year round, the organization supports the visibility, creation and circulation of art publishing as an artistic medium and social practice, and produces curatorial and publishing projects that are inclusive to dialogues in the visual arts, literary arts and graphic design. The annual international Vancouver Art Book Fair, acts as a survey exhibition of contemporary practices in artists' publishing. A critical piece of cultural infrastructure, the event serves as a platform for local artists and has brought hundreds of international artists' work to Vancouver since 2012.
