What is SPF?

SPF (Small Press Fair) South Florida is an event to celebrate print with small, regional presses, independent publishers, artists, designers, zinesters and the similarly afflicted and more.  

Organized by Ingrid Schindall of IS Projects and Sarah Michelle Rupert of Girls’ Club, SPF is an opportunity for the regional print-making, book-making and zine-making community to share ideas and showcase new work for one special weekend in South Florida.  

SPF’s annual programs include a MARKET for exhibitors to share and exchange delectable print, book and zine goods, a STEAMROLLER printing event for artists to print BIG, DEMO stations for master printers to demonstrate techniques and technologies, CREATION STATIONS for visitors to make and trade their own zines, and a STAGE for a forum of discussion and debate revolving around our sunny subculture of independent print- book- and zine-makers.

SPF Fort Lauderdale launched its first edition November 12, 2016, in FATVillage. Now in its 7th year, SPF is going big, expanding from a one-day event to a weekend extravaganza at our new location in Dania Beach.
