The Art Book Fair, specialising in contemporary art books and zines, is one of the earliest recipients of the Singapore Tourism Board's S$5million kick-start fund to support new lifestyle events and concepts with tourism potential.

The event, developed by Higher and BooksActually, will consist of artist talks, film screenings and book launches as well as the chance to shop for yourself - buyers and art book enthusiasts alike will be able to connect directly with the art book sellers.

The book fair is scheduled to take place during Singapore’s busy art season, alongside the Affordable Art Fair, Singapore Biennale 2013, and the official opening of the Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA). Admission to Gillman Barracks is free and the event will take place from November 30 to December 1 (11:00am to 7:00pm daily).
