The Otis MFA GD Art Book Fair at Otis College of Art and Design is an annual event celebrating artists’ books, zines, multiples, experimental printed matter, and more. The event is organized by Otis faculty and students in the MFA Graphic Design program.

The Otis MFA GD Book Fair is being held on the main campus of Otis in Los Angeles, in the Mei-Lee Ney Design Studio building.

About the Fair
The Otis MFA GD Art Book Fair seeks to inspire conversations around cultural publishing, graphic design, art, and culture in Los Angeles, Southern California, and beyond by creating a public-facing arena for exhibits, interactions, and commerce. The event is free for exhibitors and the public, creating a community event that serves to bring people together and celebrate books, zines, and multiples.

This fourth year of the book fair also marks the 15th year of the Otis MFA GD program. This important milestone celebrates the growth and evolution of the graduate program under the leadership of Chair Kali Nikitas.

The fair features the outcomes of workshops with, and work created by, Otis GD’s 2023 Visiting Artists-in-Residence: Shiraz Abdullahi Gallab, Chris Ro, Eager Zhang, and Draw Down Books.

The 2023 art book fair is organized by Otis faculty Ana Llorente, MFA Graphic Design Program Chair Kali Nikitas, Draw Down Books, and students in the MFA Graphic Design program.
