Calling all authors, zinesters, artists, punks, activists and more! Chattanooga Public Library’s 4th Floor Makerspace presents the 8th Annual Zine Fest on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. This free event is open to all ages and showcases a wide range of independent zine/book makers, artists and creators with hand-on workshops and activities throughout the day.
This year’s special guests include local arts organizations ArtsBuild and Stove Works, as well as the 309 Punk Project from Pensacola, Florida. ArtsBuild’s James McKissic will be hosting a discussion about zines, art and how ArtsBuild supports artists, while Stove Works, a driving force of contemporary arts and ideas in Chattanooga, will be a part of the Zinesters Art Show. The 309 Punk Project, an artist-run archive, residency and venue for DIY culture and contemporary art based out of the oldest “punk house” in the South, will be showcasing their work throughout the day and delivering a special presentation.
