Overview

After the success of the inaugural Community Service in Downtown LA last year, founders Mike Krim and Paige Silveria are bringing the event — which is part-art market, part-zine fair and part-party — Down Under next month. Over two days, the event will bring international artists together with Australia's fresh new talent for one heck of a showcase.

Everything from art books and zines to prints and clothing will be up for grabs across the weekend — all from a tight selection of artists, designers, labels, publishers, stores and galleries. Exhibitors include New York City's Paper Work bookstore, Californian zine Hamburger Eyes, Aussie publisher Knowledge Editions and locals Perimeter Books.

You'll be able to browse the stalls coffee in-hand, or grab a glass of rosé or a Moon Dog beer from the bar. As evening rolls in, the live music will start with DJ sets from Oscar Key Sung among others.

The event will run from 6–9pm on Friday, 10am–7pm on Saturday and 11am–7pm on Sunday. Entry is free, but it's recommended that you come with cash if you want to make some purchases as not all vendors will accept card.
