SUBMISSIONS OPEN THROUGH

WHAT IS THIS? 
Last year, McDowell Arts Council Assoc (MACA) produced a community collaborative Art-Content Zine. A Zine (ZEEN) is a small-circulation magazine of self-published original works, usually the product of of a small group for circulation by and for enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon. We produced one last year in celebration of our regional celebrity, Bigfoot! It had a fantastic response with 20+ full color pages of Bigfoot Art, poetry, stories, and more. We called it Tao of Bigfoot :) 

So...let's do it again!
