Do you have a great idea for this year’s zine fest? We are calling for applications!
Session/Workshop Criteria: Should focus on zines and/or DIY skill sharing. Presenters/leaders are responsible for providing any supplies and materials that are needed to carry out the session. Sessions can take the form of workshops, panel discussions, round table groups (or any combination of these)
The Denver Zine Fest is looking for a range of sessions in terms of content, creativity and format.
Due to capacity being reached on table space (64 zines) we have secured an additional room and now can accommodate 20 more zinesters. So if you self publish make contact now, register online.
Here is a list of Zines, Small Press, Artists and DIY folks who will appear at the Denver Zine Fest 2008.
About me: HISTORY:
The Denver Zine Fest was started in 2006 by zinesters/booksellers Kelly and Stevyn Prothero, as a way to celebrate and share zines,independent media and comix from Denver and beyond. This is an all ages,community event;Denver Zine Fest is also free to attend and free to vend. The first DZF in 2006 was held at Matter printing press in downtown Denver and was a smashing success. The place was spilling over with workshops, over 25 vendors and hundreds of attendees. The following year, the Denver Zine Library,as well as several mile-hi city zinesters joined Kelly and Stevyn in planning and organizing the fest. Taking place a few doors down at Andenken Gallery's original downtown location, over 50 vendors (many from out-of state) were present. In addition, a full roster of workshops on everything from bookbinding to Dadaism was added,keeping in the spirit of info-sharing and independent thought.Attendance was estimated at over 700,despite being held on one of the rainiest,coldest spring days in remembrance!
Denver Zine Fest continues to be growing and evolving...check out what this years fest looked like:
/////////////////////////////////////////////
A ZINE is any small press publication that is self-published, and most
of the time photo-copied. Usually they are printed in small runs, and can be about anything at all! Some are focused on a social, political, personal, artistic subjects. Zine is an
abbreviation of magazine.
Interested in learning how to make
your own zine? Wanna trade zines? Sell? please come to our
Fest. This is a free event - to both vendors and attendees.
We are also having various workshops, such as how-to silkscreen, how to
make a video documentary, how to do book-binding, and also a
demonstration on the letter-press. Please come on down, and spend a day
browsing, and chatting to creative zinesters who are sharing their work.
We have people coming from New York, Cleveland, Fort Collins, Colorado
Springs, Denver and many more locations.
If you would like to vend then contact us a.s.a.p. to reserve your table! SPACE IS VERY LIMITED!
