Sticky Institute presents:
Festival of the Photocopier 2018 Launch Party 
Upstairs at The Tote Hotel

with live music from:
Eat-Man
Bogano
Tina Growls
Made Austria (launching their new album Lick The Cream)

…plus some zines probably. Facebook event here.

Festival Of The Photocopier (#FOTP2018) is a weekend celebration of zine culture, taking place between Thursday 8 - Sunday 11 February. For more information visit www.stickyinstitute.com

Sticky Institute acknowledges that Festival Of The Photocopier is being held on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations, and Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

Sticky will close for 2017 at 5pm on Saturday 23 December.

We will be taking a break to prepare for Festival of the Photocopier 2018 and work out what the hell we’re going to do if our shop gets demolished. 

Sticky will open for 2018 at midday on Wednesday 24 January. 

Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback to MetroTunnel regarding the proposed changes to Campbell Arcade that would involve the demolition of Sticky. We understand the survey had over 1,500 responses!

There are still things you can do to help protest the development plans. Ellen Sandell MP has created this petition asking Labor’s Planning Minister Richard Wynne to consider the impact of the planned tunnel on Melbourne’s heritage.

Hi everyone, I will be launching my new zine Murder, She Zined: an In-Depth Review of Murder, She Wrote Season One at the Sticky Institute on the 9th of December! 

Shelley from Way Shit will be playing a solo acoustic set!

Come down and have a cup of tea with us, grab a copy of the zine and read all about Jessica Flecther and the 22 murderers she (basically single-handledly) put behind bars.

Come join us for the launch of David Mahler’s new comic collection Junior Catharsis! Over 300 pages, about 6 years of comics collected in one chunky volume - laughs, thrills, poetry, stoner jokes and introspective reflection xox
