About this project
2011 Buffalo Small Press Book Fair Saturday, March 19, 2011 Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum 453 Porter Ave, Buffalo, NY
The Buffalo Small Press Book Fair is a regional one day event that brings booksellers, authors, bookmakers, zinesters, small presses, artists, poets, and other cultural workers (and enthusiasts) together in a venue where they can share ideas, showcase their art, and peddle their wares.
This is our fifth year, and we'd love to have your individual support in order to keep the book fair growing. We were lucky enough to receive a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts for marketing and promotion this year, but that still leaves a lot of incidental costs (table and chair rental, food, etc.)!
The fair has been an amazing success every single year, and we can make 2011 the best year yet with your help. All of the money donated will be used for book fair costs, and any unused funds will be rolled over to the 2012 book fair.
Remember this event is FREE and open to the public!
In 2010 we had over 90 vendors and over 2000 participants!
Any individual who donates 50 dollars or more is guaranteed a limited edition letterpressed poster from this year, and silkscreened posters from previous years as well!!!
