As a DCA Partner Arts Center, CFAER is so thrilled to be a part of this year’s National Endowment for the Arts’ Big Read! Join this free, creative book club experience and read Charles Yu’s novel Interior Chinatown with us, then create zines based on themes featured in the book! We will be creating a collaborative zine using our shared personal stories and perspectives.

The Big Read will be occurring in connection with our monthly Zine Club, where we will be discussing the book and creating our zines together. Join us for this multi-day experience!
