There are books about every subject it seems. As we've previously covered from beer to bricks from cats to cardboard (okay that's not a book yet...I'm still waiting!). Well as you may know we have a beautiful art section as well as craft, style, design and architecture!
As Melbourne is a UNESCO City of Literature, it only seems fitting that we have an ART BOOK FAIR held at the National Gallery of Victoria. I do love the good old NGV, beautiful works, beautiful building and beautiful gardens! What's not to love? I am supremely excited at this fair coming up as it combines my two loves and the event includes a myriad of talks and workshops.
When: May 1 - 3 2015
Where: NGV St Kilda Road
Cost: Free!
I say May 1st and free but the first day is actually a preview night (that I have tickets to!) with food, music, talks and the opportunity to buy cool magazines and publications which is $20. I know this sounds like a spiel but I am incredibly excited to attend! There are so many great things on at the NGV all the time with a good lot of them being free which is an added bonus.
From their website:
"The 2015 Melbourne Art Book Fair will be the first of a series of annual art book events developed by the NGV. From 1-3 May 2015, the inaugural Melbourne Art Book Fair brings together emerging and established publishers, artists, writers and designers. Stallholders at the Melbourne Art Book Fair will provide visitors with access to artists’ books, catalogues and monographs, periodicals and independent publications, showcasing new types of art publishing, in the one venue at NGV International.
As well as showcasing local and national publishers, the 2015 Melbourne Art Book Fair is proud to present special international guests Printed Matter (USA), making their Australian debut, and a curated focus on Japanese publishing.
The Melbourne Art Book Fair will also feature a dynamic program of free talks, forums and performances, as well as spaces to enjoy food and drinks and music, set within a uniquely designed experience by Melbourne Architecture firm Fold Theory."
I absolutely love living in a Literary City, there's always something to stimulate your mind and get involved in. There are only ten other Cities of Literature! They are Edinburgh, Prague, Iowa, Dublin, Norwich, Reykjavik, Grenada, Krakow, Heidelberg and Dunedin.
