The St. Louis Small Press Expo

Daring, sparkly, diverse, bad-ass and totally free are just a few ways to describe the St. Louis Small Press Print Expo. This year's expo takes place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the Central branch of the St. Louis Public Library (1301 Olive Street; www.stlouissmallpressexpo.com). With more than 60 vendors from comic artists to zinesters, attendees can peruse hundreds of independently published and crafted books and comics, plus unique literary projects both local and national. Catch the screening of Root Hog or Die, a documentary about John Porcellino of King-Cat Comics & Stories fame. Attend a hands-on workshop in collage, bookbinding, pressure printing and more. Mingling with artists challenging the political landscape and gender norms? That's a Saturday well spent. DIY forever! Admission is free.
