Artists’ Fair

The Artists’ Fair will be open on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. It is an opportunity for book artists to personally sell their fine crafts.

For conference attendees the Artists’ Fair is a unique opportunity to purchase handmade books, cards, hand-decorated papers, hand-dyed bookbinding thread, and other book-related work from professional artists and students of the arts.

Book artists can sign up for a table at the Artists’ Fair to display and sell their handmade book‑related work to the public and other attendees of the conference. Please note that space is limited and everything for sale must fit on a 6’ x 3’ table. Setup and takedown times will be minimal. Each book artist must be present at their table to sell their hand‑crafted work and will handle all their own sales.

If you are interested in selling your hand-crafted items during the Artists’ Fair, you can sign up for a table until May 15, 2026, using this form. There is a $25 charge for each 6’ x 3’ table, payable online (see form). You may set up for Wednesday night only, Thursday night only, or both, for no additional fee. To sell your items during the Artists’ Fair, you must be a participant of FOBA as either an attendee, instructor, staff or tradeshow vendor.
