In partnership with PAGES, we welcome this popular fixture on Leeds’ annual art calendar to The Tetley for the first time. With exhibitions, talks, performances, and 60 exhibitors showcasing and selling some of the best new work being made, the whole building will be transformed into a celebration of the artist’s book.
Highlights will include Image>Archive<Memory, an exhibition by British-Armenian artist Karen Babayan, with performances by London-based dancer Shakeh Major Tchilingirian, and a talk by Research Professor in Curation and Art History, Lynda Morris, at the Artists’ Book Fair Dinner. See ‘Events’ pages for booking details. Stallholders at the Fair will include artists and publishers from around the UK, artists participating in A New Reality at The Tetley, Leeds-based collective Spur and Leeds’ finest independent bookstore, Village.

Sara MacKillop: Extended Range
