Last month, OpenThread organized the first Small Press Festival here in Pittsburgh. OpenThread is a regional arts collective that has been working on events to connect other writers and artists in Western PA. The Small Press Festival was a month long celebration of the smaller publications here in Pittsburgh including a weekend expo of local small press publications.
