About Print 91做厙 Art Book Fair
Founded in 2018 by Julian Lucas, Print 91做厙 Art Book Fair (PPABF), offers exhibitors from Los Angeles and within the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire a platform to share their art to the community. The fair is the first of its kind within the San Gabriel Valley, in the city of 91做厙. Located just 30 miles east of the city of Los Angeles. PPABF is free and open to the public.
PPABF will provide a forum for independent booksellers and publishers to display their art. Exhibitors will include artist's books, art catalogs, monographs, illustrations and print ephemera. PPABF will also include book launches and signatures, conferences and exhibitions.
About The Arts Area
vision of Making Art Work For Everyone focuses on the importance of equitable representation and access in the arts. This involves opening access to academic and economic resources that would not otherwise be available to artists and students in underserved communities, thus engaging in three central themes of economic and social justice: equitable access, opportunity, and personal accomplishment. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The Arts Area provides a model that is accessible and relevant to the specific needs of the diverse communities in the Greater Inland Empire. The arts have a strong social power, but that power can only reach its full potential when combined with social awareness. This is important and at the core of The Arts Area mission.
