The first Lone Star Zine fest was held on June 11, 2017, and was a huge success with over 400 attendees, more than 30 exhibitors (including 3 zine libraries), 8 volunteers, 2 fabulous door prizes, 8 zine reading performers, and 2 generous sponsors!
Here are some of the things attendees had to say after the event:
“I loved the diversity of the zine artists represented and the general vibe of the event. I walked away with amazing art and a warm, fuzzy feeling in my belly. <3 ”
“The energy!! Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and open to chatting about their work.”
“Great selection/curation of artists, themes, and subject matter.”
“As a zinester, I loved how open all of the vendors were to trading/looking at my zine! It was awesome to have librarians there as well.”
