The Paperback Art Book Fair 2026 is headed back to Riyadh this November
The event is coming back for its third edition
During the next few months, Riyadh will be welcoming not one but two book fairs: The Riyadh International Book Fair 2026 and The Paperback Art Book Fair 2026, too.
Happening from Thursday November 5, to Saturday November 7, the incredible event will be hosted by Diriyah Biennale Foundation.
