What is 'Book +&/ Art'?

​

This is not a typo - this festival is for 'Book +&/ Art'. We were often asked what this festival is about, but we decided not to define it. This is because we realized that so many indie creators & artists are doing incredible things that can't just be described as book or art. We don't want to label things; we want to share with you the amazing works and the local creators behind them.
