Travel to Leipzig Book Fair

Travel Time: 21-27 March 2017

This year Lithuania was the official guest of the Leipzig Book Fair 2017. Graphic Art Department from the Vilnius Academy of Arts was the partner of the project “Lithuania in the Leipzig Book Fair”. So it was good reason to go to Leipzig with the students, to meet artist’s book creators, to see the new tendencies in book design, to visit exhibition in Berlin and Leipzig.
