Programme

Tsundoku Art Book Fair proposes in 2023 a series of talks, book launches and signings to get to know better the participant artists and publishers. The offer is complemented by workshops for individuals, as much as for families, so that everyone gets creative and inspired. Unless otherwise stated, no booking is required and events are free.

The fair is made possible thanks to the kind support of OPW and it’s staff, specially those at Dublin Castle and The Printworks.
