As an artistic event, The Los Angeles Printers Fair is a celebration of Letterpress Printing, Paper & Paper Arts, Vintage Books, Book Arts, Printmaking, Screen printing, Type, Typography, and other related arts. Vendors need to be within these fields;
approval of vendor applications is subject to the discretion of Museum Management.

YOUR VENDOR FEE OF $180 APPLIES TO BOTH DAYS AND INCLUDES:

One six foot table with two chairs in a 6′ wide x 5′ deep area
Two Exhibitor badges
Two extra Fair Admission tickets
Vendor listing in the Fair’s Show Guide
A vendor page in our online marketplace at printersfair.com (see our page on Virtual Vendors for more information)

NOTE: There are a few special tables within the A Section (A7, A8, A10, A17, A24, A25 and A27) that are larger than the typical table. Their cost is higher and includes all of the above, but with an 8′ table instead. Vendors are allowed to split a table or buy more than one table.

STEP ONE

Decide on one booth, two booths, three booths or however many you might need. Click on the map to download. Using the map you will be able to pick out an appropriate booth before purchasing and permanently choosing your booth. Please remember that this Map is only a visual tool; you have to PROCEED TO REGISTRATION ON JULY 6th in order to actually select and purchase a booth!

Booths in the A and B sections include a 6′ long table and two chairs. Each table or set of tables that is purchased will be given appropriate signage so that your customers can easily find you. Some special tables within this section are larger than the typical table and cost more for a 8’ table along with two chairs.

Swap Meet Booths in the C section are 8′ x 8′ in size. The location of the booths are on a FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVED basis the morning of the Fair (no earlier than 7 am please). If you wish to purchase one of these areas, you supply the tent, tables, and chairs for each 8′ x 8′ area.

STEP TWO

Decide on the kind of ad you might wish to place in the LA Printers Fair Show Guide. You can see sample ad illustrations below, as well as downloadable Fair Guides. These ads will increase your sales by allowing the visitors to the Fair to take home the information needed to contact you after the Fair. Printers Fair Show Guide covers are limited edition letterpress printed and a souvenir visitors keep for many years.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity! There are three kinds of ads you may take out in the LA Printers Show Guide:

Full Page (7.35″w x 10″h) $300
Half Page (7.375″w x 4.875″h) $150
Quarter Page (3.56″w x 4.875″h) $75

You’ll be required to supply the finished full-color or black & white artwork in either JPEG or PDF format by no later than September 23 to be included in the 2023 Fair Show Guide.
