    Save The Date – May 31st – ArtZINE:Mt.Sterling, KY

    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.
