The Vancouver Art Book Fair (VABF) is a free annual multi-day exhibition of art books, magazines, zines and other forms of printed matter taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia.[1] Established in 2012,[2][3] VABF is the first and longest-running international art book fair in Canada, attracting vendors from BC and around the world.[4][5][6][7] The fair features reading rooms, art projects, artist talks, and keynote speakers.[8][9][10] The Vancouver Art Book Fair moved to the new Emily Carr University of Art and Design campus in 2018 after six years at the Vancouver Art Gallery.[11][12] Founded by Tracy Stefanucci, VABF operates as a non-profit society and has included programming year-round, with a mission to establish Vancouver as a centre for artists' publishing.[13][14][15][16]
