Art Block Zine is a student-run DSTL Arts program that produces monthly, community-based zines, and a biannual zine anthology by the same name. Our Art Block Zine–Youth Editorial Board also manages our e-zine.
The Art Block Zine–Youth Editorial Board meets on a weekly basis and reviews all submissions for content, theme, and artistic quality. The work our student-led editorial board seeks to publish should activate our five senses while inspiring us with a sense of vulnerability: a sense of realness. We hope to connect with well-developed stories and artwork.
Twice a year, our editorial board chooses a new theme for the zine. The current theme, and submission period, can be found here.
Please note: submissions are currently closed and will reopen Fall 2017. Submissions accepted online and in-person at workshops only, and must follow our guidelines.
For any questions regarding the biannual Art Block Zine, feel free to contact us by email at ArtBlockZine@DSTLArts.org.

Art Block Mini-Zine Workshops
Art Block Zine, aside from being a biannual zine anthology produced by our Youth Editorial Board, is also a community-based, mini-zine making workshop series offered in partnership with several libraries and community spaces throughout Northeast, East, and South Los Angeles.
Youth from various neighborhoods in our community come together and work with Volunteer Arts Mentors to develop stories, poetry, comics, and illustrations in mini-zines. This workshop series is ongoing, and meets once a month (except for holidays) at various locations in Los Angeles, and these workshops are open to all youth, regardless of background, within the ages of 10–24 years old. Participants in this workshop are also invited to submit longer works of art to the biannual Art Block Zine, and our e-zine.
