An exhibition of zines, minicomics, alternative media, diy, small press, and underground art.
Zine Fest Houston is an event dedicated to promoting zines and other forms of small press, independent, alternative, underground and diy media & art.
It is also a grassroots attempt to build the local zine scene and form networks with zinesters in other areas.
ADMISSION IS ALWAYS FREE and free or at-cost table space is available for zinesters, writers, artists, distros and other individuals and groups involved in the creation, publication distribution or promotion of alternative media and diy.
The festival is a new and different experience every time, offering a new crop of zines and comics every year (including many never before seen anywhere else) and other unique sights (such as a live chicken manning one of the exhibitor tables during our first festival).
The goal of the event is for attendees to not only discover new zines, but also to be inspired to create their own diy art and media projects.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2009 Zine Fest Houston will take place on Saturday May 16 from 2pm to 8pm at ArtStorm, 4828 Caroline St.
Voted Best New Gallery by The Houston Press Readers Poll, ArtStorm is run by artists, for artists and is "dedicated to showing a variety of work, highlighting established local talent as well as giving up-and-coming artists, musicians and performers a place to show and play."
We are planning guest speakers and programming to highlight the hidden history of zines and alternative press in Houston. We will also be offering workshops and panel discussions to inspire new and aspiring diy media makers.
Anyone interested in tabling, facilitating a workshop or volunteering should email details@zinefesthouston.org.
Zine Fest Houston planning meetings take place at Sedition Books (901 Richmond Ave.) on the first Wednesday of each month. These meetings are open to the public and anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to attend.
