The Athens ABF showcases a variety of works on paper — from art books to prints to zines — produced by dozens of artists and presses from primarily Athens, Georgia and the Southeast. This year’s event welcomes 72 vendors from the Southeast and beyond. Join us to explore a wide variety of techniques and subject matter on display and connect with artists and publishers!

Please note that this event is affiliated with the annual arts and music festival AthFest, which will attract considerable traffic in the area. Plan your visit and parking accordingly.
