The San Francisco Art Book Fair (SFABF) is pleased to announce its seventh year at Minnesota Street Project’s contemporary art campus. Open July 19 through July 21, 2024, with a preview the evening of July 18, the SFABF is a free annual multi-day exhibition and celebration of printed material from independent publishers, artists, designers, collectors, and enthusiasts from around the world.

SFABF places the unique history and perspectives of the Bay Area in conversation with national and international publishing communities. Free and open to the public, SFABF features artists’ books, art catalogs, monographs, periodicals, zines, printed ephemera, and artists’ multiples. Throughout the weekend, visitors to the fair are welcome to experience a diverse range of talks, performances, book launches, special projects, exhibitions, and signings across the Project’s contemporary art campus, as well as select off-site projects and events. As of 2023, the SFABF has welcomed more than 80,000 visitors. The fair continues to expand its horizons, offering more in-depth programming related to art publishing at three different venues on the Minnesota Street Project contemporary arts campus, new exhibitors, and exciting fundraising editions from Bay Area artists.

Adding to the excitement, we’ve included a new exhibition space at 1150 25th Street, Building B, Suite B. In addition to the 85 exhibitors at 1275 Minnesota Street, 1150 25th Street will feature 45 publishers whose practices are dedicated to accessible and inventive forms of bookmaking and publishing.

Presented by the Minnesota Street Project Foundation, SFABF’s mission is to help sustain the creation and distribution of printed material through support of the independent publishing community from the Bay Area and beyond, and to expand our reach to new audiences.
