We are creating a unique, hands-on repertoire of our community’s creative talent. The zines will be produced in small, hand numbered batches and will be sold to our local community. All proceeds will go directly to supporting the zine and Ottawa Design Club events.

Issue #1 themed: “Quarant-Zine” will showcase creations from our community that were developed during our time away from society. We are looking for pieces that tell a story, share an experience or mood, or it could just be something you created during the lock-down that you feel proud about.
