Parramatta Zine Fair (PZF) is a vibrant creative celebration rooted in Burramattagal country. Over two days, the fair will spotlight the diverse voices, languages, and communities of Greater Western Sydney through the work of local zine-makers, artists, designers, photographers, writers and independent publishers.
This year, the School of Zines will also celebrate its 2nd birthday with a special exhibition of artworks and publications from our workshop alumni.
PZF is a family-friendly, community-focused event with FREE admission. All are welcome!
Proudly presented by the School of Zines and supported by the Arts & Cultural Exchange.

Stallholder Application form
The Parramatta Zine Fair is supported by the Arts & Cultural Exchange (ACE), an arts organisation that provides creative empowerment and sustainability to some of Western Sydney’s most under-represented communities. There are limited spots available so we have set some criteria in place to ensure that we align with ACE’s commitment to First Nations first, diversity, equity, inclusion, culture and arts.
The Arts & Cultural Exchange work on the lands, skies and waters of the Burramattagal of the Dharug and we pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging. Their ceremonies, stories, traditions and spirit live and remain. We honour their custodianship, seen and unseen. First Nations first, diversity and equity are our guiding principles.
