February 4 – 7, 2024

The fair took place in a brand new location: the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland, California. The symposium was held in Berkeley at the Freight & Salvage.

This year we were also pleased to announce our Emerging Artist Fellowship which provided funding for 2 consecutive fairs for 2 applicants in 2024/2026.

We were also thrilled to announce the beginning of the Joint Research Scholarship with the College Book Art Association, which aims to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world of book arts. This scholarship supports artists, scholars, librarians, and curators to attend our biennial Fair and Symposium. This additionally focuses on easing the burden of travel and lodging costs for recipients coming from further distances.
