Feelin’ Sappy?

issue2callFeel this space! Tree Sapp magazine is looking for work for their upcoming second issue. Check out their website and blog and submit your watery works to their “River Beds, Sweat and Sheets” -themed issue by May 10th.

Tree Sap is a publication devoted to digging up, excavating and documenting the convergence of art & nature. Through artist features, collaborative projects, & personal narratives, we hope to offer commentary on the wild origin of our myths, sexuality, & inner lives.

Work in Progress Tomorrow

We’re really excited for tomorrow’s launch of our new monthly working get-together here at Quimby’s, which we’re calling Work In Progress.

Event!

Work In Progress is from 7-8:30pm on the last Wednesday of the month.  You can bring your current project and work on it in a social atmosphere.  If you’re lo

oking for critiques or advice, you can get it from fellow attendees.  If you just want somewhere outside of your dark basement apartment to work on that new zine, this is the event you want to go to.

If you’re looking to meet more folks in the city who are making fun stuff, stop by!  We’re hoping this monthly series will become a positive space for self-publishers and other creative types here in Chicago.

Spread the word, Work In Progress is this Wednesday, and the last Wednesday of every month!
