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
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
