Printed Matter / St Marks x 8-Ball Community's 2022 East Village Zine Fair
Printed Matter / St Marks x 8-Ball Community's 2022 East Village Zine Fair
We are excited to announce the return of Printed Matter / St Marks x 8-Ball Community’s East Village Zine Fair, scheduled to take place Saturday, June 18, 11am - 6pm, on St Marks Pl between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Like last year, a full schedule of programming will be held throughout the day, including workshops and performances at neighborhood community gardens and a rooftop poetry reading at 38 St Marks Pl.
Last year’s event was a wonderful celebration of independent publishers, zine makers, and East Village DIY culture and history. Join us as we come together once again for this new zine fair tradition on St Marks Pl. Free and open to the public.
Stay tuned for more information about community garden events, musical performances, and three new fundraising editions produced on the occasion of the EVZF in support of 8-Ball Community and Printed Matter / St Marks.

Joining us on St Marks Pl are four organizations focused on community building and mutual aid work in the Lower East Side and beyond.
Abrons Arts Center is a home for contemporary interdisciplinary arts in Manhattan’s Lower East Side neighborhood. A core program of the Henry Street Settlement, Abrons believes that access to the arts is essential to a free and healthy society. Through performance presentations, exhibitions, education programs, and residencies, Abrons mobilizes communities with the transformative power of art.
BAILFRONT is a donation-based store that flips items contributed by artists, writers and presses and redistributes the proceeds to bailout/mutual aid organizations like Emergency Release Funds, CovidBailoutNYC and Survived & Punished. We’re always accepting donations <3
CORPUS NYC
CORPUS IS A COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY BUILDING IS DIRECT ACTION. CORPUS IS ABOUT MUTUAL RESPECT. RESPECT BUILDS SOLIDARITY. CORPUS IS BUILT ON HARD WORK AND PRACTICE. INTELLECTUAL WARFARE IS MANDATORY. INCREASING SELF DEFENSE AND AWARENESS IS PARAMOUNT. CORPUS IS EMPOWERMENT AND BECOMING FREE.
Friend of a Friend builds networks of support with our unhoused friends and neighbors in Lower Manhattan.
We know that there are far more zine makers in New York than there are tables available at the fair. So, 8-Ball will have a Drop-Off Table where anyone can sell their zines! You can drop off a stack of up to 6 zines, of which 8-Ball will sell 5 and keep 1 to be entered into their archive/library—think of it like a free consignment table. The step-by-step:
1. Drop off up to six zines at the 8-Ball Drop-Off Table
2. Enjoy the fair!
3. When you’re ready to leave, come back to the Drop-Off Table
4. We give you your zines and cash!
5. You now have fewer zines, but more cash! (Use it to buy zines?)
After the East Village Zine Fair, join us for a rooftop poetry reading at 38 St Marks Pl hosted by 8-Ball fair organizer Em Brill.
The East Village Zine Fair is made possible by our sponsors, Carhartt Work In Progress, Karma, Fortnight Institute, and Kapp Kapp; and the generous support of Below The Line Production Supply, Endless Editions, Keigo Prints Inc., and Essentia.
