Mark your calendars! Perimeter and Gertrude are thrilled to announce the return of Same Page Art Book Fair, taking place October 24–25, 2026.

Hosted annually since 2023 in Naarm Melbourne, Same Page brings together a select network of imprints, publishers, and distributors who share a commitment to supporting artists, writers, and thinkers. Alongside a curated selection of stalls, Same Page also features public programs and book launches all weekend.

Applications are now open for both exhibitors and public programs, closing on Friday June 26, 2026 at 11.59pm AEST.

Keen for a table at Same Page? Applications for full or half-tables are open to local and international publishers, distributors, and booksellers. Apply to be an Exhibitor here. 

If you're a self-publisher with limited titles, you may be interested in our Self-Publishers Collective Table. This shared table creates a platform for emerging artist publishers, independent presses and first-time self-publishers. Apply to be a part of the Self-Publishers Collective table.
