FLYER FRIDAY
*coming soon*
Flyer Friday is a community copy shop event hosted by Moniker Press, providing low-barrier access to grayscale risograph and photocopy printing. At this event, printing is offered on a sliding scale or pay-what-you-can basis, no one is turned away for lack of funds. The intention is to create a mutual support cycle, where those who are able can contribute more to help subsidize costs for others. Funds also assist with material expenses such as ink, stencils, and paper to ensure the continuity of the event. Artists/designers are invited to contribute by creating and submitting free-use printable designs for attendees to choose from.

Through Flyer Friday, Moniker Press aims to continue the impactful legacy printed materials have had in amplifying voices and spreading awareness, and seeks to further support important activist work in the Vancouver area.

When: monthly-ish
Location: Moniker Press studio
Day/Time: afternoon/evening
Duration: 30min-1 hour
