Join us for the 2026 Annual Book Arts Bazaar, a vibrant community celebration dedicated to the fine craft of book arts. This unique gathering showcases the talents of regional book artists, papermakers, bookbinders, printmakers, educators, and writers, all coming together to share their passion for contemporary book arts.

We are seeking book arts related vendors – this includes printmakers, letterpress printers, zine makers, papermakers, etc. All application/table fees will directly support the Kate Cheney Chappell Center for Book Arts and its programming.

However, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS for individuals who apply to vend at the 2026 Book Arts Bazaar and who experience a scheduling conflict or personal barrier. All sales will be handled by the individual vendors/artists, and 100% of profits from the sales will go directly to vendors/artists. 

Tables are limited and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Tables are 6' in length and provided by the McGoldrick Center facilities. Please bring your own tablecloths, exhibition stands, payment processing equipment, and cash change as needed.
