The Chattanooga Public Library’s 4th Floor Makerspace will host its 8th annual Zine Fest on Saturday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The festival was first held in 2014 to celebrate the library’s debut of the Zine Library. Zines are independently made magazine-like print publications that can include short stories, nonfiction, prose, poetry, artwork, etc.
The free event is open to all ages and will showcase 30+ local and regional zinemakers, artists, and creators who are selling their work. Bonus: Today’s the last day to submit your zine to be a vendor.
This year, folks can expect hands-on activities like screenprinting, printmaking, papermaking, and photocopier art. Plus, there will be readings and discussions throughout the day from local art organizations + a special guest experience from the 309 Punk Project from Pensacola, FL.
