The edition of the zines will be 66, the first 13 of which will be sold for $66 (and have some extra fancy stuff), all proceeds going directly to participating artists. After the first 13 zines are sold, the rest will be available for free.
"The ultimate development of knowledge is questioning. We can't endlessly defer to answers.. to knowledge... and knowledge finally opens a void. At the summit of knowledge, knowledge stops. I yield, and everything's vertigo." - Georges Bataille, 'Guilty'
The visual art program for City Arts Festival is being conceived and curated by Sierra Stinson in collaboration with festival arts curator Sara Edwards.
A portion of the proceeds from bar sales go to benefit Shunpike.
