The 'Zine

So I'm seriously interested in getting this going, and really getting to work on it once school stuff dies down.

I just want to reiterate some of the ideas I had for the publication on the blog for all to see:

- A showcase of local KC artists, but not necessarily limited to such.
- An emphasis on photography, because of the fact that not many publications (especially around here) are heavily involved with the medium in that sense.
- That being said I also really want other mediums represented, and especially think some creative writing would be nice. (maybe even response pieces from other artists based on some of the work going into the magazine.
- I'm not sure how often we can get this out, especially with most of us still having another year of school left. I'm thinking maybe quarterly for now?
- We need to try to get some sort of sponsorship to help pay for all the costs involved with this. Grant writing may be a possibility, talking to local artist coalitions and foundations, and other kc businesses who may be interested in promoting work like this.
- Also the first series of these will most likely not be printed at nearly the quality I would prefer, but it shouldn't deter us from its creation. Even if we have to do newsprint starting out.

Anyways feel free to add to this list or whatever.

I think this could be an amazing group effort though.

Alex: I really like this idea as well. I'm keen to be involved. I also had a thought when Brandon mentioned the responses from artists or whoever to work in the zine that the format that ummm i think its "Black" zine uses is pretty cool. They have the articles written about the person writing the previous article...does that make sense? so we could all kinda feed off each other too, and other artists etc. Dunno. just an idea.
