Publication #1

Hey. We just finished folding and binding the first issue of Feed's Publication, a collaborative zine produced by the folks that attended last weekend's workshop. It is a Halloween themed zine featuring drawings by Curtis Askew, Stephen Bauman, Chris Clark and Rachel Nietfeldt. There's also instructions on pumpkin carving by Cynthia Bauman and a short story by Stephen Bauman.

If you want to get a copy, you can stop in at Libro Bookstore in the Majestic Center (150 North Schuyler) and pick one up. They have a $2.00 cover price, but you can just have one for free if you ask nicely.

Publication: Zine Workshop

According to Stolen Sharpie Revolution, "a Zine is an independently created publication. The contents are anything you want them to be; personal experiences and stories, political ideologies, music related writings, gardening tips, travel stories, comics, photography, or anything you like. Zines can be produced by one person or a group of people and they are usually photocopied."

Feed and Libro Books are presenting a zine making workshop on the evening of October 15 at Libro Bookstore in the new Towne Mall at the Majestic Centre. We'll go over the history of the zine and mini-comic scene, and cover a few of the most common methods of layout and binding. Together, we'll work on creating a collaborative zine to be published by Feed and offered for sale at Libro.

We'll provide:
• Supplies needed for designing a zine layout: paper, scissors, markers, stencils, staplers etc.
• Publishing and marketing
• Music and snacks
  
• A copy of the finished zine for each participant

You provide:
• Found images for creating collage pages
• Cool ideas

So here are the details
What: Publication
When: October 15th, 6:30 p.m.

Fall Arts Stroll

We're planning to set up at this year's Fall Arts Stroll organized by the Community Arts Council and our friends at the Kankakee Events Partnership. Everything is happening between 11:00 and 4:00 this Sunday, September 19th on the 100 blocks of North and South Schuyler Avenue, on either side of Court Street. The event this year should be a lot bigger than in the past, with over 70 artists, vendors and entertainers. In addition, there will be a bunch of demonstrations by area craftspeople at the Downtown Depot. Hopefully, you'll stop by to take part in the festivities and check out the Feed Team at our booth.

Guerrilla Gallery - 5x5x5

Get ready for a cheap art show. Feed is planning our first Guerrilla Gallery Exhibit. In an abandoned storefront, the middle of a corn field, or the basement of a barbershop, a Guerrilla Gallery Exhibit could pop up anywhere at anytime. It's an unauthorized party with music, refreshments, prizes and, obviously, some seriously great art.

For the first GG, we'll be exhibiting 5x5x5, a group show featuring the work of a bunch of awesome artists from around the country. All the exhibited artwork will be available as limited edition, five inch by five inch prints for the unacceptably low price of only five dollars a piece.

The date and location must remain top-secret for now, so join our facebook group to get the low-down about when and where the action is happening.
