DIRIYAH: Rows of art books, a DJ spinning records and an endless sea of colorful posters can mean only one thing — the second annual Paperback Art Book Fair is back at JAX District in Diriyah, running for three days and ending this Saturday.
Organized by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, the now-annual event has become a fixture in its cultural calendar and will continue to take place during the first week of November each year.

“Paperback happens at JAX — a very creative district that houses multiple creative tenants across the board, from artists to creative organizations, businesses, you name it,” Sybel Vazquez, director of public programs at the Biennale, told Arab News.
“Paperback is happening between the two biennales,” she said, referring to the Islamic Arts and Contemporary Art Biennales, which now open in January each year over the past half decade.
