New Applications Now Closed*

Thank you for your interest in applying to be a new exhibitor for CODEX IX!

*Although new applications are now technically closed, you can still send one in. These applications will be reviewed in the order received and, if accepted, placed on a waiting list. Please keep in mind that waiting list applications will only be further considered if space is available. 

Please note: if your application is put on the waiting list but you are not fully accepted to exhibit at CODEX IX, you will need to reapply as a new exhibitor for CODEX X in 2026.

Application Criteria

In order to apply:

Please send an email to contact@codexfoundation.org with the following information:

  1. Your resume or curriculum vitae
  2. A link to your website
  3. No more than 10 photos of work you plan to exhibit at the fair. We accept short videos (5 minute maximum) in lieu of up to 3 photos of your work.

Along with sending the application material, please be aware that the CODEX Foundation's primary focus is on promoting and supporting the art and craft of the handmade book. Within the vibrant and growing scope of work being done within the field of book and publication arts, we specialize in books produced as limited-edition works by hand, using traditional and contemporary printing, binding, and related techniques/skills. For the moment, our venue isn't big enough to include everything from more sculptural bookwork to zines.
At the same time we do want to participate in the surrounding ecology and ideas in the field. To these ends we provide the most flexibility in criteria to build diversity and provide opportunities for those interested in the history and craft of the field who may not have previously had access to advanced equipment, training, or opportunities.
