WIELS Art Book Fair 2025
The WIELS Art Book Fair returns this fall for a new edition.
Over the course of a weekend, more than 60 independent art publishers will take over WIELS to present their books, zines, artist books, catalogues, and limited editions.
Free and open to the public, this annual gathering allows book lovers, collectors, art enthusiasts, and professionals to discover a wide variety of printed works and engage with both emerging and established independent publishers through a programme of talks, book launches, and book signings.
During the weekend, several of the participating publishers propose a well-filled programme of artist talks, book launches and book signings. On Sunday, Glean proposes À qui tu parles ? Et qui t’entend ? a discursive programme on the formulation of worlds and the creation of meaning.
Don’t hesitate to bring your kids: we are hosting free bookmark workshops on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
