Vancouver Art Book Fair

Vancouver Art Book Fair is back this year at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre from May 15–17, 2026. This year’s edition features roughly 80 tables and more than 100 exhibitors, with new participants from across British Columbia and beyond. This year’s program is produced in collaboration with Emily Carr University’s Libby Leshgold Gallery and READ Books, and Fillip. The event is in its 14th year as Canada’s oldest and largest art book fair. There are 27 new exhibitors including Page Bureau (New York/Shanghai), Publicaciones Salvajes (Veracruz), and 大囍包tōa-hí-pau (Taipei,) among many returning favourites. Following on last year’s initiative to connect art libraries in the region, the upcoming fair will feature a panel co-produced with the Art Libraries Society of North America, featuring librarians Sara Ellis (University of British Columbia), D. Vanessa Kam (Emily Carr University), Christine Walde (University of Victoria), and moderated by Sylvia Roberts (Simon Fraser University).

Admission is free and open to all. The full list of exhibitors and public program can be found at vancouverartbookfair.com.
