»Let’s talk ABOUT« is the motto of the ABOUT Independent Publishing Fair in Mainz. This fair for small publishing houses and self-publishers that work within the fields of art and design is taking place from Saturday 31th of May to Sunday 1st of June 2014.
Located on the spacious premises of FH Mainz – University of Applied Sciences, ABOUT offers more than 200 square meters for the presentation and sale of a great variety of publications. With more than 25 participants from all across the country and a focus on the presentation of student publications from various art academies, it facilitates exchange and dialogue with like-minded people as well as the general public.
Along with the fair, we have organized the exhibition »RINGTONES« which will showcase 20 ringtones by international designers. Also on Saturday there will be an SPEAK DATING Event and the cozy ABOUT Party.
Entrance is free of charge.
