San Francisco, CA. June 2022 - This July marks the much-anticipated return of the San Francisco Art Book Fair (SFABF) at Minnesota Street Project (the Project) after a two-year pandemic break. The SFABF will debut Thursday, July 14 with a special preview from 6pm to 10pm and continue Friday, July 15 through Sunday, July 17. All four days are free and open to the public. Launched in 2016 as a joint collaboration between Colpa Press, Minnesota Street Project, and Park Life, the fair’s popularity has grown steadily over the past six years. As of 2019, the SFABF had welcomed more than 50,000 visitors from the Bay Area and beyond. This year the fair continues to expand its horizons, offering more programming at three different on-site venues, new exhibitors, and exciting fundraising editions from world-renowned artists.

The mission of the SFABF is to foster the unique and diverse art publishing community of the Bay Area while providing a platform for national and international publishers to exhibit their work to new audiences. The four-day annual event features a unique selection of artists’ books, art catalogs, monographs, periodicals, zines, printed ephemera, and artists' multiples. These items are presented by over 130 publishers, antiquarian dealers, artists, and galleries from the Bay Area and around the world.

This year the SFABF will feature an outdoor Zine Tent, located behind the Project on Tennessee St., that will host 38 publishers whose practices are dedicated to accessible and inventive forms of bookmaking.

 

Can you believe? This is going to be our first year ever tabling SFABF, one of our all-time favorites. Catch ya in the zine tent July 14-17! #SFABF2022

Congrats to all the featured artist, you made this happen!!

Here’s a few photos from the opening night!

“outside @irrelevantpress takeover at @aggregatespace. struck by how friendly this art is - art spun and lifted by friendship. the power, river changing course power, of just two sentences: “you are an artist. you are my friend.” friendly not as a synonym for outgoing or extroverted, but as a synonym for counterintuitive, disadvantageous, fair.”
— Liam Curley

Stories From Inside

The most beautiful zine we’ve seen in a while, in both content and visually. This zine features antidotes from many incarcerated muslims, on their experience and their struggles. We respect Believers Bail Out and their work tremendously, and hope many learn from Stories From Inside. Please consider donating, and sharing the word!

Believers Bail Out is a national community-led effort to bail Muslims from pretrial & immigration incarceration. Pay your zakat to bail & help us free our people!
