Calling all zine producers, printmakers, book artists, and DIYers of all stripes!
We are back! And this year we’ll have some awesome special guests….
So claim your spot at the Alt Press Fest (Sat, July 13, Main Library)! If you want to show off your wares or conduct a workshop, contact Brooke Young (byoung@slcpl.org) no later than Monday, April 22.
If you are an Instagram user (and really who isn’t these days amirite?) check out these great pics from last night’s Valentine’s Mini-Comic zine workshop courtesy of zinester/alt-girl bonniekayevargacooper.
Or click here and look for February 2013.
If you like what you see (and live in the SLC area) we urge you to come on out to one of our workshops. They are super fun. Or maybe look out for or start Zine Workshops in your community.

Big thanks to everyone who came and contributed. The resulting work will be posted at Alt Press Fest 2012!
Lucky Dragons are a super cool music group who often work on collaborative art projects. In 2010 they appeared at a Sumi Ink Club event in London. Here’s a video of what happened:
We could totally make this happen in SLC. How cool would that be?

The Book Arts Program has been a part of the J. Willard Marriott Library since 1995. Students are trained in a fully equipped studio to use traditional printing techniques combined with the modern techniques of today. Some of these techniques include photo engraving, printing and book binding. Also, last year SLC Mayor Ralph Becker awarded the Book Arts Program with the “Service to the Arts by an Organization” award, for all of the amazing work they’re doing!
View the Book Arts Program website for more details and come see what they have in store for us during APF 2012!
