Announcing our 1st Winter Market!

The Pittsburgh Zine Fair (PZF) is excited to partner with WorkshopPGH (5122 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15206) to host a small and cozy winter zine and print sale, our 1st Winter Market! on Friday, December 2, from 7 – 10 pm. This event is free and open to the public! 

Exhibitor list: Jenn Lisa, Ceci Ebitz, Small Press Pittsburgh, Jayla Patton, Higu Rose, Copacetic Comics, Madeleine Campbell, Maggie Lynn, Danny Devine, the Pittsburgh Comics Salon, Lizzee Solomon, Christina Lee, City Slicker Press & more!

Big thanks to Mellinger Beer Distributor for supporting libations at our event!

Since its debut at AIR: Artists Image Resource in 2011, the PZF has attracted a diverse group of artists, writers and activists from across the region whose content may vary but the format remains the same- the zine. An icon of DIY ethos and radical info sharing, the zine decentralizes media and vaults individual expression while remaining inexpensive. Almost 700 people attended our main event last October - keep an eye out for more events and announcements for next year!

You can find our event on FB to RSVP and to get updates.
