Who Are We?
The Newport Zine, founded in 2020 by Vernon and Maddie, aims to foster a supportive and inclusive art community where independent creators can get their work printed and shared with others. Funded entirely through personal contributions and donations, the zine generates no profit and allows artists to retain full rights to their pieces.
Discounted copies are provided to participating artists, and efforts are made to promote the zine locally and through social media. The goal is to motivate artists during a time when social media makes it increasingly difficult for their work to be seen.
At its core, the Newport Zine is about creating art for the pure enjoyment of it and forming meaningful connections along the way. Driven by environmental consciousness, the project strives to have a positive impact on the world.
