ROOT-ed Zine Meet Up
We are holding a meet up for those of you who have contributed to ROOT-ed Zine over the past few months, and for those who would like to in the future. We have had so many people tell us that they want to network and meet up with artists they saw in the zine and now is the chance to do that!
There will be free refreshments and snacks on the day, as well as a few little games so we can all get to know each other!
The event will take place in St John’s Market, Unit 50-51.
We really hope to see you there!
