VABF relies on the support of our community in order to remain free and open to the public. Here are some ways you can support:

Become a VABF
Member

VABF Members are part of an engaged community that is passionate about art publishing. In addition to annual perks, Members contribute to the sustainability and growth of the annual fair—keeping the event free, while also allowing us to invite international artists and pay fair fees to presenters and arts workers. Your support helps to fund the production of VABF,  and demonstrates your commitment to fostering Vancouver’s art publishing communities and establishing Vancouver as a centre for artists’ publishing.
