These two new programming initiatives offer Fairgoers hands-on workshops, tutorials, and professional guidance in the interdisciplinary field of artists' book publishing. Some programs are ongoing with walk-ins welcome whereas others require advanced registration or a modest fee to cover materials costs.

Extracurricular Activities
Throughout the Fair weekend, ArtCenter’s South Campus will activate their many departments to offer programming that engages with the artists’ book format. Activities will include risograph workshops in the Makerspace; printmaking workshops in Archetype Press, California’s largest letterpress printing facility; student exhibitions in the Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography (HMCT), the graduate art galleries, and printmaking studios; and much more.

Office Hours
Taking inspiration from the educational context of LAABF’s new venue, Office Hours are held in the ArtCenter Library & Archives. These tutorials will be led by artists, publishers, and Fair partners and offer different types of professional advice in the fields of law, library acquisitions, and photobook publishing.
