Our good friend, Yijae Kim, editor of GRAPHIC, published by propaganda press, has done a first rate survey of art book fairs, full of like minded publishing nuts outside of the mainstream.

In other news ASP will return in 2026, the current climate has been very testing for small self organised loons like myself what with ACE going bonkers with it's funding application meltdown, and the seemingly total lack of money any fucking where...Watch this space dearest Avid Fan.
Very sad news, Mark Pawson has passed away. He was a regular at ASP Fair since the beginning. A real trooper in the self publishing community. He'll be much missed.
Huge thanks to the artists and audience who made ASP8 so special. Extra thanks goes to those who made it possible:

Fundraiser is still open if you want to help out, every little help, still a hole to fill...

ASP8 will host 80+ UK and international independent artist self-publishers for a one-day fair. As with past fairs, it will continue to avoid the restrictions and market dominance of much of contemporary arts culture. The publications are the art works; affordable and available, and remain free from the fetter of the institution or gallery, the ideas images and text are produced and published by artists who understand the restrictions and freedoms of the printed page. In addition to those selected by ASP, 10 places are allocated via open submission. The fair will remain free to the artists and the audience alike - 100% of all sales go to the artists.
