What is L.A. Zine Week?

L.A. Zine Fest @ FMLY Fest!

Bringing L.A. together through DIY

During the week of February 5 to February 11, the L.A. Zine Fest is encouraging bookstores, galleries, independent artists, and writing groups to organize zine-, small press-, or DIY-related events.  We want this week to contain a series of decentralized events around the theme of DIY and DIY publishing.  Throughout the year, there are events like these all over town; all we’re trying to do is attempt to get them to happen within this one week to draw attention to the fact that zines are still a viable medium for writers, illustrators, and artists and that is alive and well in Los Angeles.

Overlap of events is great–even encouraged–because it accurately reflects that there is unified community of outposts that support independent and DIY infrastructure in L.A.
