Olympia Zine Fest is an annual community event that promotes zines and other forms of DIY culture. We strive to create a supportive and accessible safer space for people to promote their work, share new ideas, learn skills, and make new friends.
The fest is organized by a non-hierarchical core group of volunteers with intentions to:
- Spread the love of zines as an accessible form of creative expression
- Strengthen community partnerships through outreach and collaboration
- Prioritize and amplify the voices of underrepresented communities
- Operate and make decisions from an anti-oppression framework
- Highlight Olympia as a destination with a diverse creative culture and history
We invite YOU to Olympia to partake in zine adventures, readings, tabling, and workshops. We want to introduce you to our zine community.
