PABF 2023 ARCHIVE



Tote Bag



We created this fundraising edition tote bag for our Miller ICA exhibit that showcases over forty artist publications that one might find at a contemporary art book fair like the Pittsburgh Art Book Fair.

We call this the "wonky font," which was designed by Caroline Kern and then made into this larger design by Mary Tremonte. Caroline and Mary then printed them in their studio in Troy Hill, these totes are sturdy, wide, and a fashionable way to support PABF.

Black canvas with white ink and measuring roughly 13.5" H X 19.5" W with 24" handles.

If you would like to pay more than $20 for this tote, please know that all donations go towards the expenses accrued in setting up and developing this inaugural fair. The PABF team is a volunteer run and all extra donations will go towards current expenses and/or help develop a second fair in 2024
Hanky / Bandana



A little Pennsylvania flavor to celebrate the inaugural Pittsburgh Art Book Fair that was designed and printed by Caroline Kern and Mary Tremonte.

This fundraising edition hanky/bandana come in two different color-ways so can support PABF in your own personal style.Please indicate within the notes of your order if you would like pink or purple, otherwise we will choose for you.

Pink with red ink bandanas come with edges serged by Caroline with white thread and measure roughly 20.5" X 20.5"Purple with red ink bandanas have factory sewn edges and measure roughly 22" X 22".

If you would like to pay more than $20 for this hanky, please know that all donations go towards the expenses accrued in setting up and developing this inaugural fair. The PABF team is a volunteer run and all extra donations will go towards current expenses and/or help develop a second fair in 2024.
