Dublin Art Book Fair

This event has ended

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Thursday 4th December - Sunday 14th December

Temple Bar Gallery + Studios presents the fifteenth edition of Dublin Art Book Fair (DABF). DABF is Ireland's leading art book fair and a centre for contemporary artist books, featuring limited edition books made by artists and designers. The Fair also champions creative, small and independent publishers, both Irish and international. It includes newly published and unusual publications on art, design, visual culture, and select literature and poetry. These can be browsed and purchased throughout the Fair.

In 2025, DABF Guest Curator Selina Guinness presents her theme Flock. She has designed a vibrant themed programme of events and selected books she has nominated along with her invited readers. Across her programme, Guinness examines all things pastoral: humans and beasts as herding creatures; the relational arts of shepherding; the impact of flocks on habitats; and how wary scapegoats too may flock to survive predation.

In conjunction with the Curator’s Programme, DABF produces the wider programme including artist workshops, book launches, tours, and talks in celebration of the artist book, independent publishing and artist-run culture.

The DABF25 Event Programme will be published online and bookings open Tuesday 28 October 2025.
