TCZF 2022 Begins!

TCZF 2022 Begins!

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!

We’ll be making announcements about TCZF 2022, but in the meantime we’ve been enjoying being back in community with zine folks! Autoptic, the indie comix fest, was held this past weekend, and with masks required it felt like a safe event. It was great to see people! Check out these two upcoming fests:

The 4th annual Insert Name Mini Fest is happening Saturday August 27th at the Landing Strip community garden (2614 20th Ave S). It’s free & outdoors! For more info, follow them on Instagram at @insertnameminifest.

Also consider checking out the very first Southern Minnesota Zine Fest, happening in Mankato on Saturday September 24th. Find more info at the Facebook event.
