3rd Annual Denver Zine Fest
May 31st
10am-6pm
First Unitarian Church
1400 Lafayette Street
Denver, CO 80218
Denver Zine Fest announces 3rd Annual Gathering
Iron Feather Bookstore and Denver Zine Library two of Denver's most enthusiastic supporters of underground publishing in Denver are pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Denver Zine Fest, May 31st from 10 am – 6pm at First Unitarian Church in Denver. The church will be filled with self-publishers vending their zines, comix and projects. Throughout the day, volunteers will run free workshops and demonstrations offering how-to instruction on cartooning, screenprinting and of course, zine-making. The Fest is open to the public and free to attend.
“Zine” (pronounced “zeen”) is an abbreviation of magazine; any self-published small press publication often a photocopied and hand-bound booklet falls under this category. The Denver Zine Fest promotes the spirit of Do-It-Yourself publishing, as well as independent thought and expression. This event also serves as a gathering for the zine community, which relies primarily on mail to communicate and distribute materials. The Denver Zine Fest aims to be a day of showcasing, selling, trading, and collaboration for zinesters, poets, comic book artists and readers alike.
Last year, the Denver Zine Fest was held in March at Andenken Gallery’s former location at 21st & Market. Over 700 people attended the fest, which featured zine writers and artists from Denver and beyond.
Some of this years’ vendors include local cartoonists such as Patrick Keck, Lonnie Allen and Stan Yan, Growler Distro: a local distributor of independent music & zines, John Porcellino of the fifteen year old King Cat Comix, The Project, a zine composed of writings by Denver youth, Ironfeather Journal, Mixtro Distro and and many more to be announced.
Throughout the day, volunteers will lead workshops and skillshare demonstrations on topics ranging from how to conduct an interview to silk-screening to cartooning.
Denver Zine Fest has also teamed up with the Underground Carrot, who will be selling an array of tasty vegetarian foods.
Zine Fests have been popularized in cities like Portland, Philadelphia, and Madison, and Denver is quickly becoming a central spot on the map of the circuit that draws zinesters away from their typewriters to swap projects and strengthen the underground community that they share.

ART AND SUPPLY SWAP: DETAILS
Where: The Underground house, 2336 S. Downing Denver
When: 8pm, Wednesday, December 19th.
1. Please, please do not come empty handed!! In order for this to work, and for everyone to leave with something cool, you must bring at least one item.
2. You can bring art, supplies, or both. You may be wondering what qualifies as art and the rule is....well, pretty much anything tangible. It's not limited to just paintings. You can bring homemade clothes and tees, zines, books, toys, instruments...anything. If you want to get really creative, you can make a book of IOUs or coupons for your services if you are, for example, a dancer, actor, performance artist, sculptor with a piece too big to bring, or anyone else whose creativity can't materialize at the swap.
3. Supplies, also, don't stop at paintbrushes and paints. Bring your blank canvases, box of scrap metal, notebook, sketchbook, clay, yarn, hot glue gun, googly eyes, film...anything that can be made into something qualifies as a supply! As long as you can trade it, you're good.
4. This event is ALL AGES and FREE. Unfortunately, if we do get beer, we will not be able to serve you if you are under 21. Donations welcome.
Bring a friend and support the Denver DIY culture.
