The FRONT BOOKS is a project that collects and displays art books to make them available for the local community to consult and enjoy. The FRONT BOOKS will also give away books to the local community for free. It aims to be a space for reunion and gathering around the literary culture. Providing a space for small scale literary events such as book readings, book presentations, poetry readings and more.

We are just starting this project, but we already have a good selection of photography, graphic design, local art and art history. Come take a look!

The FRONT Books is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 10am – 6pm.
