Sit+Read Artbook Fair returns to Timișoara for its 2026 edition, bringing together artists, illustrators, independent publishers, printmakers, designers and DIY collectives from Romania and abroad. Over the years, the fair has grown into a meeting point for independent publishing and contemporary print culture, creating space for exchange, collaboration and new ideas.

Join us for three days of artist books, zines, comics, prints, exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and book launches. Whether you’re discovering self-publishing for the first time or you’re already part of the community, Sit+Read is an invitation to explore, connect and celebrate independent publishing together.
