Mission &
Values

Mission

Organized by Endless Editions, Brooklyn Art Book Fair (BKABF) is an alternative book fair that prioritizes the needs of emerging and underrepresented artists by removing financial barriers and fostering community. Our mission is to create a book fair with the deliberate intention of care towards our community.

We believe in creating spaces that are open and accessible to all. We encourage participation from artists of all backgrounds by removing financial barriers, allowing our exhibitors to better meet certain material needs. We organize with special emphasis on the experiences of emerging and underrepresented artists. We are committed to building supportive spaces for artists to create, connect and flourish. We value all members of our community inclusive of age, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, socioeconomic background. To ensure that the disabled, high risk, immunocompromised, elderly and covid conscious members of our community are welcomed, we require masking indoors during all hours of the fair and hold accessible pre-registered hours with smaller crowds and shorter entry lines.

We stand against censorship and are committed to protecting our artists, educators and program facilitators and their freedom of speech. We acknowledge the profound influence of art in reflecting our socio-political context. Art books and zines have historically served as a forum for progressive political discourse. These mediums play a crucial role in amplifying voices and perspectives that challenge existing norms, fostering dialogue and driving positive social change against oppression and colonization.

In addition, we build programming around emancipatory politics, with the fair acting as a site for resistance, discussion and grief. In accordance with these values Endless Editions unquestionably stands with a free Palestine and supports artists who center liberatory struggles in their publishing practices.
