Short Run was founded to strengthen and celebrate Seattle’s lauded small press community by curating events throughout the year that spotlight artists and self-publishers who lack exposure and provide them with helpful resources. The annual festival is free to the public and showcases makers of art books, zines, comics, and animation; it is an alternative to large-scale commercial conventions that focuses on regional self-published works, limited editions, and handmade books.
Afterwards (also at Washington Hall) there will be a Comics Prom beginning at 7:30 pm, which is $5 and features bands La Luz, The Shivas, and Specs Wizard go to their website: www.shortrun.org for more info.
Founded in 2011 and organized by Eroyn Franklin, Kelly Froh, and Janice Headley.
