Submission Deadline 4 October
Running 29 October-22 November
At The Library Project

HALFTONE Print Fair returns this November, bringing together a large selection of works by established and emerging artists, showcasing Ireland’s exciting Art scene. Initiated in 2015, HALFTONE quickly became one of the busiest events in the calendar of both The Library Project and Dublin's Art scene, with over 500 artworks presented by more than 100 artists.

This year, HALFTONE will also see the return of its sister event Tsundoku, started last year to contribute to HALFTONE's celebration of the printed matter with a passion for the book format—a passion we have cultivated and shared ever since our first book fair in July 2011, during PhotoIreland Festival. Among other events planned for Tsundoku, we are looking forward to welcoming a showcase of the Kassel Dummy Award and the Australia and New Zealand Photobook Award.

Submissions for HALFTONE Print Fair are now open, with a deadline of midnight 4th October.
