Fully Booked Art Book Fair

Fully Booked serves as a platform to consider the medium of the artist book as a “multi-site”—a tactile, portable, and accessible form. The intention of the fair is to foster meaningful cultural exchanges between regional and international artist publishers, as well as the cultural practitioners and visitors present in Dubai during Art Week.
Fully Booked will be open as a fair from March 13–18th, 2017, with the opening night on March 13th. The fair coincides with Dubai Art Week and the openings of the eleventh edition of the Art Dubai fair and the thirteenth Sharjah Biennial.

Fair programming, including artwork, film screenings, workshops, and talks, has been developed in partnership with the UK-based Crossway Foundation and Edge of Arabia, with a special focus on UAE-UK artists (to coincide with the UK-UAE Year of Culture).
