ARTSBUILD ANNUAL REPORTChattanooga, Tennessee
The arts are indispensable.
For their 2024/2025 annual report, ArtsBuild wanted to make a “zine”—a small, portable piece of cultural expression—a collective statement on why the arts matter.

Art That Changed Me
The report featured visual art submissions in response to the reflection prompt: “Art That Changed Me." We asked the ArtsBuild staff, board and community, and public to share “how has art moved you?” An image that challenges the status quo, a poem that refuses to be quiet, a collage of the world you want to live in…
We combined the collages with the text of the “Hot Glue Manifesto” and ArtsBuild’s related yearly impact statements in a limited two color layout.
To add to the authentic feel of the zine, the pages were then printed in black and teal inks on a risograph printer by Wonderpress, and assembled with an astrobright overlay and a stitched thread binding.
The color collages live on in companion digital exhibition at artsbuild.com/artchangesus
