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:

https://pickmyproject.vic.gov.au/rounds/pick-my-project/ideas/the-festival-of-the-photocopier-zine-fair

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.

HTML Flowers will be showing some of his prints in the window at Sticky Institute for the whole month of August 2018.  Get on down to Shop 10, Campbell Arcade, Melbourne and you can purchase one for just $5!  The exhibition is happening as part of Craft Cubed.

For the month of July Sticky Institute has taken over all the display cabinets in the City Library and filled them with zines (and staplers). The exhibition is titled Zine Enclosure and can be viewed during all hours the library is open.
