  About this event

Announcing the 2nd annual Wales Artists' Book Fair at Hafan yr Afon in Newtown! The fair will be running over the weekend of September 7/8 2024 and will include some demonstrations and workshops. This will coincide with the Newtown Food Festival, so there will be lots to see and do!

What are artists’ books?
They are book forms inspired and created by artists – A festival of books that are handcrafted, paper, fabric, sculpture, printed, drawn, stitched, small press, and artist led.
Wales and the borders have many wonderful book artists and we want to give them the opportunity to showcase their work as well as artists from further afield. We also want to encourage more visitors to the area to find out about what book art is and get involved in the creative process and all the possibilities that artists' books can be!

The Wales Artists' Book Fair will be upstairs at Hafan yr Afon in Newtown. Hafan yr Afon is a beautiful community centre located on the bank of the river Severn, next to the Back Lane car park. It is a green and welcoming gateway to Wales and next to the Oriel Davies Gallery, where we will have space to host workshops. The room is spacious and has disability access and is family and dog friendly. There will be places to relax and a balcony overlooking the park.

This event is organised by Hafan yr Afon.

Adult £0.00, Child £0.00, Other £0.00
