Santa Rosa Zine Collective

Santa Rosa Zine Collective (SRZC) nurtures, uplifts and archives the work of zine artists in and around Sonoma County.

We are working to build a community of belonging with people of color, queer and trans folks, disabled and neurodivergent people, and others who are underrepresented in our local arts scene. We love to create and participate in artistic experiences that are radical, transformative, and liberating.

WHY ZINES? Anyone can make a zine. They can be made with almost any material and only require that the creator has a desire to make something. Zines are self-published and completely DIY, often using borrowed photocopiers. They can be informative, political, artistic, irreverent, hilarious, heartbreaking, frivolous or soul-bearing. They can be based in text, images, or a combination thereof.

Zines are the cornerstone SRZC’s interest, but they aren’t all we care about — we dig events that mix zines with other artforms. What’s important to us is the idea that art is and should be for everyone.
