object//project art book fair

Launched in 2025 by Possible Worlds, Object//Project Art Book Fair (OPABF) is a multi-day gathering in Ottawa which celebrates diverse and boundary-pushing artists’ publishing.

Set against the backdrop of Canada’s capital city, OPABF pays particular attention to art publishing as an act of “making public”, as well as a medium for responding to today’s challenging social, cultural and political landscape.

OPABF offers fair visitors the unique opportunity to discover the work of forward-thinking artists and publishers, and engage with a dynamic program that explores art publishing at its fullest.

OPABF aims to be a vital platform for exhibitors and programs that is rooted in knowledge sharing, community and expression. We believe in the power of publishing to amplify and connect underrepresented and emerging voices, as a democratic discipline that transcends physical spaces and time, and as a catalyst to reshape longstanding narratives and worldviews.
