The cafeteria will be transformed into the mercado for the diy and zine wares and we’ll have 5 rooms for workshops and skill shares, including outside area for set up for discussions. Poets and musicians will take the stage throughout too.
The DIY & Zine Fest is a child friendly event. You are free to bring your kids along to look/buy the wares of the mercado and sit in at the skill shares and platicas. Workshop presenters are aware that our event is child friendly. Why? Cuz kids need to learn diy and about alternative media!

Should focus on zines and/or DIY skill sharing. Presenters/leaders are responsible for providing any supplies and materials that are needed to carry out the session. We are looking for a range of sessions in terms of content, creativity and format.
Submissions of all kinds are welcome.
We encourage submissions that use alternative media as a way to reach across lines and use non
mainstream media, equally important if not more important.
Keep in mind that the DIY & Zine fest is a child friendly event and that parents and children are free to roam the skillshares and the mercado. If your presentation is not child friendly, please let us know fellow in the “notes” area.

You’ll be taken to the payment page after you submit this form. If something happens, or you need to access that site again, it’s here.
If you are interested in having your zines or project distroed by us, please read the following carefully. Please print out the following form or handwrite the info. It includes all the info that is needed for possible consideration.
Include your email or a self addressed stamped postcard for a reply. If you would like your work returned if not picked up, please provide an envelope with adequate postage.
I believe in free speech, but here at C/S-we carry zines with a certain focus. By not accepting say a hate filled racist zine-I’m not infringing on your rights on as you can still submit it, write it, and distro it yourself.
PAYMENT
We pay wholesale for items we carry. Wholesale cost is usually calculated at between 40-60% of the cost to the public. For example if your zine goes for $2, you’ll get w/s $1. I prefer paying with Paypal, but can also send money orders, checks, and at last resort cash.
If your zine or project is pricey-say w/s $5 or more, I’d go with cosignment.
Submission adress Send your zine copy, along with all your contact info and note inside the envelope (because envelopes get ripped and so forth) to:
