2025 Incubator: Zine & Digital Art Fair

Incubator 2025 version 2

2025 Incubator Application

Incubator is back! Our annual Zine and Digital Art Fair.
What is a zine? Zines are like the papery essence of Fringe – DIY, affordable and just the right amount of scrappy.

Submissions are now open for all kinds of zine-makers and digital artists to have a table at the fair. Sell/swap/share your wares in the Brown’s Mart Courtyard on Saturday, July 19th. If you make/print other things (T-shirts, stickers, chatterboxes) you can bring those too!

Never made a zine before? Dream some up and apply anyway. Poetic, erotic, journalistic, caustic, fantastic – we want it all!

FEE

$5 for half a table / $10 for a whole table.

The Fringe Zine Fair is free to attend and open to the public, but artists are encouraged to charge for their zines or swap with others.

TIMELINE

Submissions close: at midnight, Sunday, June 15th
Submissions will be accepted or rejected as they are received based on first in, best dressed.

THE EVENT

When: 2-6pm Saturday July 19th, 2024
