Get your voice out in fun and artsy ways! Join us for some talks and hands-on expression:

• What are zines?

• How do you make a zine?

• Why would you want to have or make zines? 

Zines are a form of self-publishing and culture building in and around community. The artist residency of Brian-Paco (B-P) features zines with poetry and rants that B-P often performs on stage or individually. Join us for an evening of getting to understand zines, learn their history and then try your hand at expressing yourself creatively through zines!

The Next day during The YES! House Open Hours, On Wednesday, January 10th, 10 AM - 2 PM, join Brian-Paco for more Zine Making / Artist Helps! This will give an opportunity for those who were not able to make it to create their own Zine, or for those who want to keep working on them!

This activity is part of Department of Public Transformation’s River Valley Ripple Artist Residency Program at The YES! House, made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
