This year's special guests are Jacob Kepler of ‘Mother News’, Lale Westvind, Susie X, Sophie Yanow, and local artist Mickey Zacchilli - all of whom will be participating in the various panels. Exhibitors will also be offering some of their merchandise for sale and displaying some of their best work.
