Artists’ Book & Small Publishers Fair
By Kit Macdonald
The 17th Artists’ Book and Small Publishers Fair brings a more art-led twist to Sant Jordi, shifting the focus from bestselling novels to the world of artist books, small-edition publishing and handmade paper culture. Taking place as part of Barcelona’s wider Sant Jordi programme, it’s designed as a meeting point for artists and book lovers alike.
Rather than a mass-market book fair, this is about creativity in a more intimate and crafted sense. You’ll find artists’ publications, experimental books and independent editions that blur the line between book, artwork and collectible object. Held at Plaça de Sant Just, it’s as a celebration of literature and the arts. For anyone who would like Sant Jordi but with a niche edge, this looks like the perfect detour.
