Proving that print’s not dying, just aging gracefully, Toronto’s 23rd Annual Book Arts Fair happens this Sunday, December 2. Held at OCAD, the hopefully bomb-free event is a celebration of all things typed, pressed, cut, bound and illustrated. Watch live demonstrations of skills you didn't know existed—printing from litho stones, anyone?—in the school's printmaking studios. And if you like a little commerce with your art, take a stroll through the Central Hall, where items for sale include books, posters, prints and more, all made by hand.
Exhibitors include book artist Mira Coviensky, bookbinder Don Taylor, printmaker and painter Alan Stein, and the event’s organizer, printmaker and book artist George Walker.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is pay-what-you-can.

Someone from CANFAR should call in a bomb threat to the show and later say it was an integrated art piece.
Sounds pretty cool. I wish I could make it. My family has been in the print business for quite awhile. I'm rather surprised there are still people using litho stones (the technique survives, but the stones have been replaced with much lighter, and cheaper aluminum)
"the hopefully bomb-free event"
It's not at the ROM, silly.
Jonathan: Yes, I am aware. The fake-bomber, however, was an OCAD student. Hence the joke. Silly.
