So, I haven’t received official official notification about this or signed a contract yet, but someone working for the Northwest Connecticut Arts Council notified me that I will indeed be getting the REGI (Regional Initiative) arts grant I applied for to start the Litchfield County Zine Fest! I’m listed on this state website (under Canaan and Olivia Montoya) along with the grant amount, in case you wanted to see: http://www.cultureandtourism.org/cct/cwp/view.asp?a=4346&q=600560

From this point forward, we know for certain that the LCZF is going to happen! My next steps are to wait for the official notification, sign the contract, receive the money, reserve the venue and finalize the date (probably a Saturday or Sunday in May or June), and send out the applications!

Get excited!!!

We’re also still looking for volunteers! Contact me at metaparadox11 AT gmail DOT com if you’re interested!

I go by many names online, but the username I use most often is Paradox or Metaparadox. I have a wide range of creative interests, including zines, digital art, programming, writing speculative fiction, graphic design, and traditional art. My primary interests now are LARP and indie TTRPGs, queer narrative game dev, queer indie comics, zines, asexual awareness projects, and organizing events.
