SUMMARY:Arts and Culture - MadMade Print Fair
DESCRIPTION:What is MadMade? \n\n\n\nA one-day\, community-centered celebration of art\, care\, and collective empowerment. This is not your average craft fair. MadMade Print Fair is a mad-positive\, disability-affirming space that celebrates the creative contributions of artists with lived experience of madness and mental health differences. We are building a space of connection and cultural power\, one that pushes back against both the clinical gaze and the romanticized tropes of mental illness. We are centering real people making real work which is bold\, joyful\, angry\, vulnerable\, experimental\, and unapologetically human. \n\n\n\nMadMade Print Fair is designed to celebrate\, support\, and showcase the creative work of artists living with psychiatric disabilities and mental health challenges. In addition to artist tables and programming\, the fair will feature a dedicated area for mental health and community resource sharing. \n\n\n\nMadMade Info Here (no registration required) \n\n\n\nThe Fair will feature: \n\n\n\n\nArtist tables: Selling prints\, zines\, and related work in a welcoming\, community-focused environment\n\n\n\nHybrid artist panel: Join a public conversation with local and national artists about your process and lived experience.\n\n\n\nDiscussion with the Center for Mad Culture: Explore how madness and art intersect\, disrupt\, and empower\n\n\n\nMental health & community resources: A dedicated area offering tools and support from peer-led and social justice-based organizations.\n\n\n\nAccessibility is central. The event will be hosted at Accessibility Living—a fully accessible venue with ramps\, elevators\, and ADA-compliant bathrooms and hallways.\n\n\n\n\nWe invite you to bring your full self. Let’s gather in community to share art that challenges\, heals\, connects\, and refuses to be silent. \n\n\n\nMadMade is organized by Dylan Sturdy in conjunction with Spudnik Press\, The Center for Mad Culture\, and Access Living \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, feel free to contact: madmade@spudnikpress.org
