Richmond Book Art Fair, April 19-20, 2019

We will take part in the Richmond Book Art Fair at Studio Two Three on Friday, April 19 (ticketed preview) 7-10pm and for the main event Saturday, April 20, 10-5pm.

"The Richmond Book Art Fair culminates in a day-long fair featuring artists’ book makers, zine makers, and independent publishers. The theme of the 2019 Richmond Book Art Fair is Power of the Press, highlighting the power of the book, printing and publishing to tell previously untold narratives and highlight marginalized voices in our community. The role of the press is at the forefront of our civic dialogue, and this event empowers community members to harness the power of the press and highlight the capacity of individual citizens to create and process media."
