What is a Zine?
A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a self-published book usually made in small batches.
Why Zines to Celebrate our 75th?
You are the core of our work, and we want you well represented in our celebrations. Zines are great tools for free speech, and anyone can make them no matter their age, artistic ability, or location. This project invites you to express yourself with few boundaries. We hope you feel inspired to create something cool in the spirit of artistic freedom and another 75 years of the Art Colony.
Suggested Donation: $10
