Events Calendar

Hooray! The 2024 Madison Print & Resist Zinefest! Join dozens of regional artists, writers, print-makers and advocates for a day-long festival of transformative, and transgressive DIY publishing and printmaking. Various makers will be present and be ready to share their work with the Madison area community.

Drop in throughout the day to see their work and learn more about this long-standing art form. The event is free to attend and open to the public, keeping in mind that artists will not be censored and some content may not be suitable for children.

Additionally, there will be hands-on printing and making projects happening in the Bubbler Room with our current Artist-in-Residence, Grace Olson, throughout the event.

Madison Print & Resist will comply with all public health recommendations active on the date of the event, even if not mandated at the time, there will be strong encouragement for social distancing and masking to ensure the highest level of safety for vendors.
