The National Gallery of Victoria presents the 11th annual Melbourne Art Book Fair, a celebration of art book publishing and Melbourne’s status as a UNESCO City of Literature. Across 11 days, from 15-25 May, art and design enthusiasts can experience exhibitions, book launches, talks with authors and designers, and the annual Stallholder Fair at the NGV. Since 2015 the program has grown to become the largest Art Book Fair in the region with more than 28,000 people visiting the three-day Stallholder Fair in 2024. From 16-18 May the Stallholder Fair will bring together more than 100 leading publishers, artists and designers from the Asia-Pacific region in NGV’s Great Hall for a marketplace of limited-edition books, prints, magazines and more. This will include Newsstand, an offering of free, limited-edition print editorials by a selection of creatives honouring the history of independent press.
