Art Book Fair 2022

Prague City Gallery (GHMP) warmly invites you to the second edition of their sales fair with a focus on art literature Art Book Fair 2022. During two days, it will offer a platform for galleries, art schools, internet portals, journals, publishing houses, collectors, and, above all, book lovers.

During the whole festival, there will be workshops and art activities for children and adults taking place in GHMP’s Eco-studio. Most of them will be associated with bookmaking – connecting texts and images. You will be able to put your hands on book art (covers, bookmarks), a huge collaborative concertina book, ex-libris, lettrism, street art and graffiti (piece and tags) etc. Some of this year’s activities present topics related to Ukraine, in order to introduce visitors to Ukrainian literature, symbols, writing and traditional folk art. These art workshops will be led by Ukrainian artists who cooperate with the Educational Department of GHMP.
