2nd Annual
Print Pomona Art Book Fair
March 2-5, 2023
Print Pomona Art Book Fair in partnership with the Benton Musem of Art at Pomona College provides a forum for independent booksellers and publishers to display their art. Exhibitors will include artist's books, art catalogs, monographs, illustrations and print ephemera. PPABF will also include book launches, and book signings.
Print Pomona Art Book Fair (PPABF), offers exhibitors from Los Angeles and within the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire a platform to share their art to the community. The fair is the first of its kind within the San Gabriel Valley, in the city of Claremont. Located just 30 miles east of the city of Los Angeles. PPABF is free and open to the public.
PPABF is a yearly event that celebrates the unique art publishing community within Los Angeles County, San Gabriel Valley, and Inland Empire, while providing an opportunity for local, national and international publishers to exhibit their work to a new audience.
Print Pomona Art Book Fair will feature artists lectures, presentations, and artist facilitated programs over the course of four days. Exhibitor curated sections, publication-focused exhibitions, and book signings and launches will be included.
