What is Biggest Little Zine Fair (BLZF)?

BLZF is a community event where artists can submit their zines to sell or display at shared tables. We host a variety of zines across a few booths, staffed by our event team—like a mini marketplace!Our goal is to showcase lots of zines covering diverse viewpoints and topics, with a focus on social justice, creators of color, local artists, and subjects often left out of traditional media. Our vision is to make zine publishing open and accessible to all. We’re here to share what zines are, and how they can empower and connect local arts and resistance communities.

Resources

We believe zine making is for everyone (especially the people who are intimidated to make their first zine)! Here are some resources we use or have found helpful.
