CABF brings over 60 vendors and artists to the region. The event is free and open to the public and hosts independent publishers, artists, designers, collectors, and enthusiasts who are both local and inter-regional.

Throughout the weekend, visitors are welcome to experience a diverse range of print-based projects, performances, video installations, and experimental takes on the artist edition at The Carnegie. CABF’s mission is to foster a platform for community knowledge of and support for the independent fine art-based publishing community, and to foster dialogue between national galleries and collectors with the local art community.

Details

The Cincinnati Art Book Fair began in 2017 and has had a symbiotic relationship with The Carnegie (with a brief hiatus during the Covid epidemic) with collaborations held in 2019, 2023, 2024, 2025, and its return in 2026. CABF was also at Campsite in Camp Washington in 2021 and participated in 2022 in an exhibition at the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center in which we highlighted printed work by historically important independent artist-run spaces in the greater Cincinnati region.
