You know we love books, you know we love art, so it only makes sense that we’re hosting the official after party for the Vancouver Art/Book Fair this October. Coinciding with the launch of our Suburbia issue, come on out to Make. Studios on October 4th from 7-10pm. There will be music, there will be beer, there will be beautiful people, and there will most definitely be a stylish double issue of Sad Mag. Oh, and celebrations too.
What’s this Art/Book Fair all about?
Free and open to the public, the Vancouver Art/Book Fair is the only international art book fair in Canada and one of only two on the West Coast. In 2014 the event launches with a Members Preview on October 3 from 6–8pm and takes place on October 4 and 5 from 12pm to 5pm. It is anticipated to attract over 1,500 visitors from across the Greater Vancouver Area and beyond.
Who organized this supreme sounding event?
Presented by Project Space, VA/BF is a two-day festival of artists’ publishing featuring nearly one hundred local, national and international publishers, as well as a diverse line-up of programs, performances and installations. Featured artists travel to Vancouver from across Canada and the globe, and produce everything from books, magazines, zines and printed ephemera to digital, performative or other experimental forms of publication.
