Join us for the 4th annual CPW Photobook & Zine Fair, where independent publishing meets photography! This vibrant event features photobooks and zines for purchase by over 30 local and visiting publishers & independent artists. Additionally, we’ve got 11 great panels and artist talks that will take place over the course of the two day-event.
Also, drop by ANYTIME throughout the weekend for our all-ages build-your-own-zine zone, brought to you by MKAD‘s Youth Workforce, giving visitors of every skill level and age the chance to make something with their hands and leave with a publication of their own. CPW’s Upstate Photography Biennial and a reading room in the Community Gallery will also be available throughout the weekend, providing a quieter space to browse and discover new work.
Plus, delicious vegan and gluten free food and treats will be available all weekend 11-4pm courtesy of Hungry Heart.
We’ll also have complementary cold brew from Rough Draft on Saturday, and on Sunday, Cafe Blur will be in the house bringing us some tasty coffee drinks. Still want more? Grab a fun soda drink on your way in from Sippin’ Sodas.
Admission is free and open to all!
