Biggest Little Zine Fair

(Stay in touch! Instagram and email are at the bottom of this page.)

What is Biggest Little Zine Fair (BLZF)?

BLZF is a mini-marketplace model where artists submit their zines to showcase at a pop-up community market. We host hundreds of zines of all varieties across a few tables, staffed by our event team. All proceeds (after credit card fees) go directly to our zinemakers!Our vision is to make zine publishing easy 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.
