There is an amazing underground music scene in Western Massachusetts supported by a diverse group of artists, collectives, and small businesses. I happened to be connected to this community socially (I am not a musician myself) and have gone to punk, hardcore, and noise shows in the area for years. I moved back to Western Massachusetts in 2013 with the intention of being more involved in an arts community. I found that the same DIY activities, resources, and networks used by musicians were being applied to visual art spaces and shows. This is amazing and special and I don’t think it is true everywhere. I have also taken advantage of more above-board opportunities (and serve the community in the super-official capacity of Northampton Arts Council board member), but never would have gotten so involved in curating, publishing, or community building if it hadn’t been for the existing DIY/Punk scene. Thank you, friends!

Visit Draw Down today at the Northampton Print and Book Fair. Free and open to the public, the Northampton Print & Book Fair is a one-day event that will take place at A.P.E. Gallery in downtown Northampton, MA on Sunday October 4th from Noon-6pm. The NPBF is a combination invitational and juried event that will feature over 50 artists, publishers, studios and vendors who will have their works available for display and purchase. Focusing on printed material in the broadest sense vendors will have a range of works from photographs, shirts, screen printed posters, chapbooks, zines, letterpress prints and more. #Northampton #BookFair #NorthamptonPrintandBookFair #NPBF #zines #DrawDown #DrawDownBooks #APEGallery (at A.P.E.
