The Lilac Menace Zine Swap

Historically a part of counterculture movements across the world, zines — small paper books filled with words and images — capture moments in time, relay information, and are a vessel for self-expression through art, words, and creativity. Since November 2024, a group of zine-makers has been meeting at Lunarium once a month to revel in creative joy together. The Lilac Menace Zine Swap meet-ups include zine-making, trading, networking with other local artists, and all-around good vibes in the form of inspiration and getting those creative juices flowing. The next meeting on May 23 happens just one week before Spokane Zine Fest. Perfect timing if you want to get familiar with the local community before the daylong celebration of all things zines!
