Temple Bar Gallery + Studios calls for artists' books From Friday 30th November to Sunday 2nd December 2012, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios will host the second Dublin Art Book Fair. This event will take place in the gallery space in TBG+S and aims to promote and aid the distribution of artists’ books, ‘zines and catalogues. Almost 30 art book publishers from Ireland and abroad will be represented at the fair as well as a programme of live readings and talks. Alongside this, TBG+S wishes to again present an open submission section in which individual artists can present and sell their books, ‘zines and catalogues. We are therefore inviting artists to send us their books, catalogues, and other publications for inclusion in this section. Spaces are strictly limited and books will be selected for inclusion by open submission.

You will receive a space for your book on the artists’ table and the books will be sold by TBG+S staff on your behalf commission free. Successful applicants will be notified.
