PaperBack Art Book Fair is set to return to Riyadh’s JAX District from November 5th to 7th, bringing together publishers, artists and readers for three days centred on independent publishing and printed works.

Since launching, the fair has grown into a platform for books, ideas and creative exchange, offering a space where independent publishers connect with audiences through publications, discussions and creative encounters.

Previous editions featured contributors including Rawdah Print and Rizo Masr, alongside a range of independent publishers and creatives working across art, design and print.

This year’s edition will continue the fair’s focus on bringing together the people behind independent publishing, with more details expected to be announced in the lead-up to the event.

Additional information will be shared through PaperBack’s official Instagram account, @paperback_sa.

Riyadh was an important stop in our book fair journey last year as we took part in Paperback Art Book Fair 2025. Joining the fair at this moment of the city’s cultural scene gave us new perspectives, solid conversations, and unexpected opportunities. We met new audiences, exchanged ideas, and spent time connecting throughout the fair, along with good food and long days on the floor.

What stood out for us was meeting the audience and sharing time and conversations with all of you throughout the fair. Thank you for the interest, questions, and great experience around independent publishing. We’re grateful for the invitation and for everyone who welcomed us, and glad to have crossed paths within a scene that continues to grow.

Thank you so much for having us at the second edition of PaperBack Art Book Fair! We had an amazing time in Riyadh. We’ve always believed that publications can be a medium for exchange and diplomacy, and this fair reminded us of that again. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table!
