Run by Clare Drummond and Marlon Hedrick, Spend Time debuted in a petite corner of a Clarksville home goods shop in 2019. The pandemic shuttered the brick-and-mortar, host to poetry readings and release parties. (Former storefront Open Invite now sells online.) Still, Spend Time has thrived digitally with participation in Printed Matter’s international Virtual Art Book Fair. Inviting first-time and seasoned zinesters alike, their reliable, limited-run curation wrangles zines, chapbooks, and comics by largely Texan creatives. With artist Eva Claycomb and Telepath Design, the shop also offers free risograph printing for BIPOC projects. Follow on Instagram @spendtimezinemart for classes and more.
