Mark your calendars for noon-6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 as The IFS Zines & Things Swap Meet returns for its 9th year in Denton*.
The Zines & Things event is an open-air, outdoor meet-up for analog and instant film photographers that’s a free-to-attend part of Saturday of #PolaCon9
What happens when a photography zine & art party collides with a film photographers’ swap meet at a film photography convention? Join us to find out as we have attendees from across the U.S. bringing cool photo books, prints, pins, totes, wearables and much more.
Hosted on the spacious covered patio at @rgrsdentontx by Instant Film Society as a part of Saturday of PolaCon 9, the swap meets offers IFS members and new @pola.con attendees a chance to show, sell or trade their instant photography-related personal works such as photobooks, zines, cyanotypes, lift/transfers, original Polaroid or Instax instant images, ‘small’ enlarged prints (no larger than 11x14 on tables for space), cards, pins or buttons, magnets and any other instant-film and instant-photography related creations.
Notes: While the Swap Meet is a free part of PolaCon to attend, the “Main Event” inside featuring photography workshops, demos, panel discussions and other events requires a ticket to PolaCon 9.
PolaCon attendees, plan now to bring your wares to show and swap, or just bring cash or packs of new or expired film to trade with other PolaCon attendees.
Never tabled your zines or other things before? Don’t feel like you have enough of your wares for a whole “table”? Because space will be limited, for folks with just one zine, a lone photobook, a single T-shirt design or a couple pin-backs, we’ll have a special ‘Mixed Exhibitors’ table so any PolaCon attendee can share and table something at the Swap Meet without having to reserve a whole section. (When you show up, just look for anyone wearing an IFS T-shirt or pin or holding a clipboard, and ask them to help you find @alexas.monroe or @danieltrodrigue.)
No tabling fee for ticketed attendees.
*Yes, it’s complicated….this is technically the 15th #ZinesAndThingsSwapMeet chronologically, counting the PolaCon Bay Area and New York.
