EVENT INFORMATION
Publishing is a crucial part of Artist-Run Centre activity in Calgary, an intriguing chronicle of our history, and an ongoing testament to the vitality of our cultural activities. For this special event, Stride will exhibit books, catalogues, publications produced and collected over our 18-year history, with generous contributions from the National Artist-Run community for a panoramic view of publishing practices across Canada.
This book fair was made possible by the participation of over 20 artist run centres, galleries, and artists. Their generous donations are added to our archive and will be available to the public, Friends of the Stride Gallery and to other cultural institutions.
