About Tropic Bound
Tropic Bound is Miami’s First Artists’ Book Fair coming to Miami Design District in February 2023. Book artists, publishers, curators, librarians, book lovers, and the aesthetically curious will come together for Tropic Bound, an international event highlighting the art of books and books that are art. It was founded in 2020 by Cristina Favretto, Sarah Michelle Rupert and Ingrid Schindall as a way to bring attention and focus to artists’ books. Tropic Bound’s mission is to promote and support the work of book artists while providing opportunities for dialogue and a platform for national and international artists and publishers to exhibit, sell and exchange artists’ books.
Tropic Bound aims to elevate the understanding and value of hand-made artists’ books as an important contemporary art form where art and words meet. Working with artists, galleries, universities, institutions and publishers from around the world, Tropic Bound seeks to create a regionally accessible platform for people involved in the creation of books as an art form.
Tropic Bound Artists’ Book Fair is made possible with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, the Miami Design District and others.
