save the date- May’s ArtZINE will be May31st in Mt. Sterling, Ky at the Montgomery County Public Library
The theme for May’s ArtZINE is: NEVER AGAIN
The idea for the ArtZine project is for artists (particularly those who live in small towns) to get to know each other by visiting each other’s communities, and making a self published magazine together. We are particularly excited to have the chance to visit Mt. Sterling, because it is a small town with an already thriving art and zine culture. The Gateway Regional Arts Center, located in Mt. Sterling, publishes the art/literary zine: uncommon Grackle.
To participate in ArtZINE, create your entry to the ‘zine before the meet up: Take a sheet of letter sized paper, and fold it in half. That is the size of our zine. You can put whatever you want inside. it can be a drawing, poem, short story, photograph, collage, crossword puzzle, anything– We’ll have computers and a scanner available to put it in the layout.
You can look at the artZINE’s photo albums to see examples of previous entries.
On the day of the event, we will meet each other in person at the library, and work together to create the ‘zine covers, print and assemble the ‘zine.
The activity is free and open to the public, all skill levels and types of art are welcome to join us. all participants get their own copy. Bring a lunch

April 23, 2018 was our 8th monthly Art Zine in Rabbit Hash, KY. Our theme was – I REMEMBER WHEN. Here are the pages. Click any of the images (or right here)to see /download/print all the pages from the zine (including the 26 different hand painted covers).
We just completed our 8th ArtZine. Since September, we have visited a different small town to make a magazine about a different theme. Monday, April 23rd, we met in the Rabbit Hash Historical District to create work around the theme: I remember when…
There was an overwhelming turnout (over 26 participants!) From different parts of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. It’ll take a few days until we publish the online edition, but here is a short (less than 2 minute) video preview. It features some of the different hand painted covers, as well as this month’s entries.
It’s finished! All 12 glorious layers of woodblock color! I forgot to take a photo of every layer, but I did get 8 out of 12 and put them into a timelapse for your viewing pleasure.
Tomorrow, April 23rd (monday) we’ll be in Rabbit Hash, KY for April’s Artzine from 10am-4pm. Stop by!
I’m still cutting away on my “Rabbit Hash General Store” woodbcut. I’m on layer 9…only 3 more to go.
If you would like to visit Rabbit Hash, KY in real life. This Monday, ArtZine will be from 10-4pm at the barn in Rabbit Hash, KY. The theme is “I remember when…”
