Zine Fest 2024: A Celebration of Independent Voices

Celebrate the DIY spirit and unique perspectives that make zines so special. Zine Fest 2024 explores a diverse array of handmade and self-published zines made by the artists of Access Gallery. Through workshops and self-led creativity, artists explored both the freedom and challenges the process of zine-making offers. We hope you find joy in these small books and find some to add to your home library. To honor the self-published grassroots world of zines, artists will receive 100% of their zine sales.

We are also proud to announce the release of new comic books by AJ Kiel, Alexander Scott, Lorne Threlkheld Jr., and Jareth J. Charles.

On display in our gallery is Fandemonium, a group show featuring fan art.
