Sticky Institute

Founded in 2001, Sticky Institute is a non-profit association based in Melbourne, Australia working on arts & culture.

Sticky Institute is an artist-run initiative in Melbourne, Australia, dedicated to supporting and celebrating zine culture. It operates a non-profit zine shop and open working space that stocks around 20,000 zine titles from local and international creators, offers a DIY photocopying service, badge-making facilities, free zine-making resources such as typewriters and long-arm staplers, and workshops. It also runs the annual Festival of the Photocopier and Hallozeen events. The organisation is entirely volunteer-run, is governed by a management committee, and offers individual memberships. Revenue from a 20% consignment commission on zine sales and donations funds the space.
