Thank you so much to everyone who was able to attend TCZF 2026! We were grateful for all our fantastic tablers and volunteers. Thank you to Hennepin County Library staff for making the day such a breeze. If you’re interested in helping make TCZF 2027 happen, just get in touch!
Join us for our second event in the Zine Scene Reading Series at Minneapolis Central Library on January 16 at 5 pm. This reading will feature several artists showing off their work, and our featured artist, Carolyn (she/her/hers), has chosen the theme MUSIC! Carolyn will be reading, and leading a zine workshop at the end of the evening based on Ellen O’Grady’s “Cups.”
We cannot require masks, but they are heavily encouraged and will be provided by Covid Aware TC. The space is wheelchair accessible.
July is International Zine Month. Tag us on Instagram @tczinefest with your work and we’ll try to feature some in our stories. We’d love to see what everyone is creating!
This year’s zine fest is a little different, once again.
First of all, in partnership with Hennepin County Library, we are hosting a series of in-person and virtual zine workshops. There is still room in some workshops to register HERE.
Then, on Friday night at 7pm CT, be sure to watch our annual zine reading on our YouTube channel.
Next, we have gathered a list of zinesters and where to find them, so you can check out their amazing work. Just click HERE for the directory.
And finally, share your own work in our hashtag fest using #TCZF2022. Even better, share your work based on our daily prompts. Make a small zine each day of the fest and share on social media!
In case you didn’t see it on social media, you can still sign up for some of the zine workshops hosted by us and Hennepin County Library. Some are in-person and some are online. Check out the full schedule and register here.
Sign up on this form to have your name and links in this year’s directory on our website and/or to participate in our annual zine reading to be aired on our YouTube channel. We’re keeping submissions open for a little while longer.
Also, keep an eye out for more information on our live in-person and virtual workshop events, coming soon.
Thank you to everyone who made TCZF 2021 a success, including all the attendees. Special thanks to Alyssa Pisciotto and Nicole Montana for hosting workshops, Lucy Comer for providing the official artwork, and Hennepin County Library for making zine kits and editing the Zine Reading video.
If you missed the Zine Reading, you can catch it on our YouTube channel here.
Thank you to our partners at Hennepin Co Library for providing these zine kits. While supplies last, you can pick up a kit that contains instructions, materials and ideas to get you started on your zine-making journey (or to continue it).
You even get a fancy TCZF 2021 bookmark and button!
Pick up your kit at Minneapolis Central, Hosmer, or East Lake Library. If you make a zine, share it on social media with #TCZF2021
The TCZF organizers would like to say THANK YOU to all of the volunteers, exhibitors, attendees, readers, sponsors, & donors for helping make TCZF 2016 the largest and best one yet. You can find plenty of photos on Twitter, Instagram, or our Facebook event page.
Let us know how we can make TCZF 2017 even better by completing this short, anonymous survey. We’d be grateful for your opinion!
