On Friday August 17^th, and Saturday August 18^th, Perro Verlag Books by Artists will be partiicipating in the first Lower Fort Art Fair at Open Space in Victoria, BC.  Open Space presents an art fair of extreme proportions! Many of Victoria’s artist run centres and galleries assemble to offer the inquisitive, the playful and the unexpected for the art crawling public. Individual booths aim to entertain, amaze and subvert expectations. Join us for what will certainly be an an  entertaining celebration of Victoria’s burgeoning arts scene.

An indoor summer event like no other, LOFOARFA sheds the commercial skin of traditional art fairs in exchange for an imaginative and creative work-out. Ten organizations will be on hand to offer everything from virtual kite flying, interactive board games, burlesque and trading card design, visual art, live music, the written word and much that exists in between.

Perro Verlag’s Booth at LoFoArFa will present books and art work by Mark Connery, Jo Cook, Julia Feyrer,  Bucky Fleur, Emily Goodden, Sally Ireland, Doug Jarvis, Collin Johanson, Billy Mavreas, Wesley Mulvin, Owen Plummer, Terry Plummer, Scheisse Wives, Fiona Smith, Jeremy Turner, Colin Upton, Ed Varney, Julie Voyce, and James Whitman.

At the opening Gala: Friday, August 17, 8pm , Perro Verlag Artist, Roy Green will give a performance and reading from various hellish texts and his own Hell Passport Volume 14.

The public is invited to attend, free of charge, to both the opening gala at 8pm on Friday, August 17 and the art fair on Saturday, August 18 from 11am - 6pm. Door prizes, silk screens (bring your own t-shirt for screening on Saturday afternoon!) and food will be on hand.  Don’t miss this event if you are in the Victoria Area.
