States Mary Heathcott, Executive Director of Blue Star: “Our mission is for the Novel Ideas Art Book Fair to provide a platform and build community in the Southwest for artists and producers who are dedicated to books as both media and material” .

The fair will include talks, pop-ups, food and drink, radio programs, and exhibitions. The closing event will take place at Paper Tiger on the evening of March 7, 2020.

Artists, publishers, and galleries wishing to participate can apply here.  The deadline is August 31.
