Bergen Art Book Fair 2025
—
Bergen Art Book Fair started in 2013 and is a weekend where you can buy and browse art publications from independent publishers from around the world. The fair also includes events such as discussions, presentations, performances and book launches during its weekend across Bergen Kunsthall’s galleries. The art book fair highlights some of the most interesting local, national, and international publications and print works made by artists. It is also a unique opportunity to find books you won’t see in traditional bookstores. Bergen Art Book Fair is Scandinavia’s most significant art book fair and is organised by Pamflett, a self-publishing workshop and exhibition space for artist’s publications in Bergen.
