Same Page Art Book Fair 
Presented by Gertrude and Perimeter

Perimeter and Gertrude partnered to present the Same Page art book fair. The event was focused on innovative independent publishers and small-scale local imprints. The fair was held at Gertrude Contemporary over the weekend of 2–3 September from 11am–5pm.

Same Page brought 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 was 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 featured public programs and book launches all weekend. 

Food and drinks were served by our creative culinary friends at Long Prawn.
