[Canceled] AVL Zine Fest Reading

Sorry! This event has been canceled by the organizer due to COVID.

Meet local writers and zinesters, listen to some really nice words, raise money for a zine fest! Our friends at Asheville Zine Fest have a sick lineup planned, with time for more if you feel inspired to bring something.

Asheville Zine Fest is an exhibition for independent publishers, small press and creators of zines, comics, chapbooks, anthologies, pamphlets, and artist books. The fest and events are all free and open to the public!

To increase accessibility for high risk community members, Firestorm requires masking at all indoor events. Learn more
