What is an Art Book?
We acknowledge there are varying interpretations of what constitutes an art book.
VABF defines an art book as a work of art that utilizes the form of a book. An art book is interactive, portable, movable and easily shared. It focuses on publishing as an artistic medium and is often produced in small editions or as one-of-a-kind objects.
Join the VABF Club! Your membership will create a space for artists on local, national and global platforms, allowing us to act as a hub for artistsโ publishing. Starting at $20 CAD your membership includes awesome perks each year!ย
