Combine your twin passions of art and literature this month at the Melbourne Art Book Fair. Hosted by the National Gallery of Victoria and running alongside Melbourne Design Week, the Melbourne Art Book Fair features more than 100 stalls selling art books from local and international publishers.
It’s the perfect chance to pick up a gorgeous guide to your favourite creative, or discover an arty edition to spruce up your lonely coffee table. In addition to the art book bonanza, the Melbourne Art Book Fair will also include talks, workshops and events to celebrate art and design both local and international.
FlexMami will present The Art of Good Conversation, inviting visitors to respond live to a question from her popular ReFlex converstation cards. For those with little ones, Future Press will give kids the chance to be the writers, illustrators and designers of their own eight-page book. There'll also be a focus on zine making thanks to the folks at the Sticky Insitute, with lots of hand-made goodies to discover.
The Melbourne Art Book Fair is on from Thursday, May 23 until Sunday, June 2. Entry is free and tickets to selected workshops can be bought online at the NGV's website.
