From Zine Fest Houston:
“Zine Fest Houston (ZFH) is thrilled to announce its 2021 festival on Saturday, November 13th from 12-6 pm at The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art (OSCVA). To commemorate the return to an in-person festival, held outdoors at The Orange Show’s open-air headquarters (2334 Gulf Terminal Drive, 77023), this year’s theme will be HOMECOMING! Break out your paper mums and party outfits because we are BACK BABY, and there’s nothing better than a good new-fashioned homecoming to celebrate safely getting back together and rejoice in all things DIY! During the day art car enthusiasts will be on site with their vehicles as ZFH coincides with World Art Car Day this year. Additional programming includes a variety of workshops, community partners, and guided tours at The Orange Show. ZFH 2021 featured artist T Lavois Thiebaud will be in charge of visual elements for this year’s festival. In the spirit of homecoming, let’s all cheer: Z-I-N-E-S, we’re the best, no contest! Goooooo zines! Applications for the shane patrick boyle Memorial Grant for Emerging Zinesters are currently open and close on November 5th. This shane patrick boyle Grant, initiated in 2018, aims to honor the life of ZFH founder, shane patrick boyle, and foster the creative DIY practice of an emerging, queer zinester. The grant includes a $250 stipend to support emerging zinesters who are vending at ZFH.
