Established as a means of acknowledging the critical relationship between contemporary art and publishing with a regional focus on the Southeast, the Athens Art Book Fair provides a space for publishers and artists to share their work and for the Athens art book community to grow and flourish. 

The Athens Art Book Fair is presented by the University of Georgia Art Library, the Lamar Dodd School of Art, and the UGA Printmaking Student Association.
