22 August 2018 Hey zine fans,
As you’ll already know, the Festival Of The Photocopier is getting bigger and better each year we put it on. Last year the town hall was full to the brim - but what you might not know is we’ve reached capacity for how many spaces we’re able to offer. As a fix to this we’re trying for a two-day zine fair next year but we’ll need your help to put it on.
In a bid to get the funding we’d need to put on a two-day zine fair (and be able to offer twice as many spaces) we’re trying for a Pick My Project grant from the Victorian Government, you can find our project here:
You do have to register with the website to vote for the fair, and you will need to be enrolled in Victoria to register to vote. We understand that it’s a bit of a strange registration//voting process but we really want to be able to put on a bigger and better zine fair for you - and to do that we’ll need those funds.
The voting is only open for the next 4 weeks so please please please get in quick!
Much zine love, Sticky.

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.

15 December 2017 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.
