OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD) is thrilled to launch “How to Table”, a zine resource for those interested in tabling at pop up markets and art fairs.

 

The “How to Table” zine was created and illustrated by Anna Chen, Geann Gamboa, Manny McIntyre, Anoosh Mubashar, and Anna Teolis under the guidance of Fiona Smyth. This resource was created as part of a CEAD supported initiative that saw over 45 students sell their work during the 2024 Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF). Lessons from TCAF and other tabling events informed the content of this zine.

 

OCAD U community members can pick up a copy at the CEAD at 115 McCaul, 3rd Floor from Monday-Friday, 10 AM - 4 PM. A copy is also available in OCAD U’s Zine Library. If you wish to stock this resource, please email Alexandra Hong (ahong@ocadu.ca). 

You can also view the PDF version of this resource online or access the descriptive transcript.

 

Thank you to Jenn and Studio 667 for the beautiful riso printing.
