Join .imczines and Small Press Fest for blind date with a zine and zine making next Saturday!

Enjoy the element of surprise and read a new-to-you zine based on a short description. No judging by the cover - just a chance to discover a new favorite!

If you don’t like surprises, take the opportunity to make a zine for a loved one - be it a partner, a pet, a parent, or yourself.

The workshop is free and materials will be provided! Just stop by the IMC Zine Library in Downtown Urbana on 2/14 between 11am-12pm!
