About Slumgullion
Slumgullion, "a stew of most anything," is a publishing collaboration project that strives to create community, empower young voices, and promote literacy and the humanities through the book arts and zines.
- We make and distribute zines, and build community in the process. Money we make from selling Slumgullion zines goes back into making more zines. Zines are sold at The Zootown Arts Community Center, on our Bookmobile, and at events around Missoula. We take zines on commission, with a leaning toward art zines, comics, and zines for kids. We collect zines with all sorts of content, but we seek to build a library collection that appeals to all ages.
- Have meetings and workshops to generate energy, support, and feedback
- Host educational events related to printmaking, small press, bookmaking, etc.
- Create anthologies, assist with zine-making on an individual level.
- Attend bookfairs, zine symposiums, and any other type of book party, etc.
- Create the future Community Print Shop. The space would be for workshops, sharing equipment, as well as a storefront for the books we distribute. We also own a zine and small press library.

Your donations are tax-deductible. If you think you can pledge a donation toward the ZACC Print Lab, please contact us! (remember to put the word SLUMGULLION in the subject line! ) Why would you do this? Because we aren't just in it for ourselves, we are trying to reach out to unheard, unpracticed voices and show people how empowering it can be to create your own publication. Not only do our zine workshops teach publishing, but it helps people learn entrepreneurship, civic participation, journalism, and that arts and society are interconnected.
The above button allows you to make a FIVE DOLLAR DONATION. It's so easy to help, and every single dollar helps, since zines are comparatively cheap. We run Slumgullion only on the profits garnerd from zines and from small contributions from people like you! We appreaciate everyone who has helped us, there have been many, and it sounds trite but it's TRUE: we wouldn't be here without you!
