Peruse parcels and packets of tiny pages at the first Charlottesville Zine Fest. The zines, created by area writers and artists, include everything from artwork, stories, poems, lists, instructions, recipes, or reviews. Among the featured zines are “Wild Altar,” a mycelial web of ideas, perspectives, and relationships in conversation with place and community, “Sonder Scratches,” a collection of art, poetry, coloring pages, and activities that explore themes of mental health and queerness, and “Under the Table and Screaming,” by local writer Erin O’Hare about the history of Charlottesville’s music venues.
Saturday 9/9. Free, noon. The Underground at The Bridge PAI, 306 E. Main St. charlottesvillezinefest.org

If this kind of local, independent journalism matters to you, help keep it going. It costs $26,245 a week—$2.23 weekly per copy, or roughly $9.50 monthly per copy—to produce C-VILLE Weekly, including writers, designers, printing, and overhead. We suggest a recurring gift of $10 per month to help cover production costs, but any amount adds up to revenue we can count on. Click to give.
