Offprint

Offprint is a platform that supports qualitative independent and experimental publishers in the fields of art, architecture, design, humanities and visual culture.
Produced by LUMA Arles since 2015, Offprint has been promoting independent publishing through its annual fairs, Offprint Paris and Offprint London.

Offprint book fair

More than just a book fair, Offprint is a think tank, a meeting place where publications by artists, photographers, designers, art schools, and research institutions come together.

Founded in 2010 and supported by LUMA Arles since 2015, Offprint is a platform dedicated to research and support for artistic creation, presented through two annual fairs held in London and Paris.

Throughout the year, Offprint carefully selects a range of publishers and publications from around the world that are rarely represented in the traditional book market.

These fairs showcase a diverse community of participants, including publishers, artists, photographers, graphic designers, art schools, research centers, collectives, and independent curators. They also serve as forums for intellectual exchange by hosting conferences, workshops, and book signings.

Each year, Offprint attracts over 35,000 visitors—professionals, artists, designers, architects, critics, educators, students, and art enthusiasts. Together, they make Offprint a key event in the independent publishing and contemporary art calendar.

Offprint in Arles

In addition to its book fairs, Offprint also has a presence in Arles with a bookstore inside the Hôtel L'Arlatan.

This bookstore feature a wide range of materials, from art, design, and photography books to independent and alternative editions, as well as exhibition catalogues from LUMA Arles and specialized journals. They also carry posters, textiles, postcards, zines, stationery, and other artist-related items.
