The Institute of Modern Art’s annual Zine Fair returns in 2026, celebrating independent publishing, DIY culture, and creative self-expression. Bringing together artists, designers, writers and makers from Brisbane and beyond, the fair offers visitors the chance to browse a diverse range of zines, artist books, experimental publications and printed matter.
Known for their accessibility, affordability and grassroots spirit, zines continue to provide a platform for alternative voices, personal storytelling and artistic experimentation. The event is an opportunity to discover new work, meet creators, and connect with Queensland’s vibrant independent publishing community.
