Halifax Art Book Fair (HABF) and conference will take place in August 2025, with an exact date to be announced in March, 2025.

Halifax Art Book Fair is a gathering for art publishers and art book enthusiasts. There is a significant art book history in Halifax that has largely gone unnoticed - HABF wants to bring Atlantic art books out in the open and foster a space for new friendships, connections and ideas.

The fair is book focused. Our mandate prioritizes artists' books, catalogues, monographs, periodicals, zines, or related printed material. Visitors can also expect programming about the art book and its surrounding concepts.

The co-directors of the fair are Andrew Hill & Marite Kuus, who can be contacted through email and Instagram. The board of the HABF is comprised of Alex Turgeon, Bryne McLaughlin Craig Leonard, and Rebecca Young.

The fair takes place in Mi'kma'ki, on the unceded and stolen territory of the Mi'kmaq people. We are grateful to live, work, learn and play on these lands.
