ABOUT

The Capital Art Book Fair
The Capital Art Book Fair is an annual event organized by Phil Hutinet that brings together publishers, artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts to showcase and celebrate the world of art books. It serves as a platform for artists, publishers, and independent bookmakers to exhibit and sell art-related publications, which can include artist monographs, exhibition catalogs, zines, photography books, graphic novels, and other forms of printed material including fine art. Featuring a diverse range of exhibitors, including established publishing houses, independent publishers, art institutions, galleries, and individual artists, the fair takes place in Eastern Market’s North Hall in the heart of DC’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.  Eastern Market has an established outdoor market where independent craftspeople sell everything from household goods to fine art and attracts thousands of buyers on weekends.  Capitol Hill is like a small town in DC with its own newspaper, small bank and locally owned businesses.
