On the hour, Curator & Manager of Fantagraphics Bookstore (and local treasure) Larry Reid will facilitate interviews with artists in an outdoor, tented space in front of Fisher Pavilion. Paper Press Punch returns to assist the audience in making their own 8-page zine at the show (with extras to trade!). We also welcome back Bakescapade as our bakery pop-up to keep everyone in coffee and pastries all day!
Fisher Pavilion has an incredible HVAC system, blowing 100% fresh air throughout the 12,000 sq. ft. space. We are taking extra safety measures by opening the front windows, having some outdoor tents, providing hand sanitizer to all exhibitors, offering masks, and asking anyone who is not feeling well to please sit this one out. Admission is free as always.
