Today is Houston’s Zine Fest. The concept has been around for 10 years here in Houston but in so many different places and with such irregularity it’s no fault of yours if you’ve missed any of their events. Like I have. If you’re not afraid of expanding your horizons and engaging a HUGE creative community, look past the Bayou City Arts Festival and keep up with Zine Fest Houston.

This is the place to find LOTS of zines. Zine’s vary from $1 to $20 depending on complexity and worthiness of the artist. It’s a real treat to see so much work crammed into the Printing Museum’s gallery spaces.

From their website:

Zine Fest Houston is an event dedicated to promoting zines, minicomics, and other forms of small press, alternative, underground, and diy media & art.

It is also a grassroots attempt to build the local zine, diy, and alternative media scenes and form networks with media creators in other areas.

ADMISSION IS ALWAYS FREE and low cost table space is available for zinesters, writers, artists, distros and other individuals and groups involved in the creation, publication, distribution, or promotion of alternative media and diy.

The festival is a new and different experience every time, offering a diverse new crop of zines and other projects every year (including many never before seen anywhere else) and other unique sights (such as a live chicken manning one of the exhibitor tables during our first festival).

The goal of the event is for attendees to discover new zines and be inspired to create their own diy art and media projects.

This event goes until 8:00 tonight (October 4) at The Printing Museum (1324 Clay St. 77019)
