Gertrude and Perimeter have partnered to present the Same Page art book fair, focusing on innovative independent publishers and small-scale local imprints.

Same Page brings together a select network of imprints, publishers and distributors who share a commitment to supporting local artists, writers and thinkers. The bespoke art book fair is a community-oriented event, highlighting the practices of small presses and collective activities in contemporary art publishing.
 
Alongside a curated selection of stalls, Same Page will also feature public programs and book launches all weekend. 

Food and drinks will be served by our creative culinary friends at Long Prawn, plus coffee by Market Lane, wine by Konpira Maru, and beer by Bodriggy Brewing Co.
