Host CREATEUR Zine

Bring CREATEUR Zine and Seattle’s creative community into your space.

Every new issue of CREATEUR Zine deserves more than a release. It deserves a room full of people to experience it together.

Host the space. Share the story. Grow the community.

During our original 2020-2023 run, we didn’t begin hosting Zine Release Parties until Issues 10, 11 & 12–meaning many of the creatives, partners, and stories from our earlier issues never had that opportunity.

For our 2027 re-release of all 12 original issues, we’re changing that.

We want to bring every season beyond the page, reconnect the people who helped build CREATEUR Zine, and welcome a new community into their stories–and we’re looking for local businesses and spaces to help us make it happen.

From The Page To Your Space.

CREATEUR Zine events are designed as an extension of our editorial partnerships.

Businesses featured within each season have opportunities to take that relationship beyond the publication–opening their doors to our community, meeting readers in person, and creating experiences around the people and stories we’re sharing.

There are three ways to bring CREATEUR Zine into your space.

.01 Host The Season Premiere

Become our four-page season primary partner

$2,000 Four-Page Editorial Fully Produced by CREATEUR Zine

Four times a year, a new season’s issue of CREATEUR Zine makes its debut.

Our Season Primary Partner has the exclusive opportunity to Co-Host that season’s official Zine Release Party, bringing an average of 65-110 attendees into their space for the premiere of the new issue.

Before you open your doors to our community, we first tell your story.

The editorial introduces you.
The party brings everyone together.

  • The Release Party centers around the Featured Creatives inside the season’s issue while giving our Co-Host an opportunity to welcome our community into their business.

    CREATEUR produces and manages the event experience, including programming, ticketing, Featured Creative participation, Zine sales, event marketing, signage, and promotion.

  • Each of the season’s Featured Creatives may showcase three creative works–up to nine pieces in total.

    Each work begins at a minimum value of $55, with 100% of the starting price going directly to the Featured Creative.

    When bidding takes a work above its starting price, the amount above that price supports CREATEUR Gallery and continued creative programming.

  • The new issue officially premieres at the event, with $15 limited-edition signed copies available exclusively during the Release Party.

  • CREATEUR manages event admission and retains 100% of $10 entry ticket sales.

    Our Co-Host receives complimentary admission for themselves plus four guests.

  • Our Season Primary Partner provides the venue at a special CREATEUR Partner rental rate and works with us to create a welcoming home for the season’s premiere.

    The Co-Host provides the evening’s drink and lite bite options and retains 100% of drink sales.

  • CREATEUR asks our Co-Host to help introduce the event to their own community through their marketing channels and provide a special post-event offer exclusively for CREATEUR attendees.

    The goal isn’t simply to fill the room for one evening.

    We want to give people a reason to come back to visit you!

  • Following the Release Party, our Season Primary Partner has the option to carry minimum 20 copies of the season’s CREATEUR Zine within their business and earns a commission on each issue sold.

    Together, we create opportunities for both communities to continue discovering one another long after the party ends.

    One event. Two communities. An entire season to keep the relationship going.

  • Every Season Premiere partnership includes a coordinated CREATEUR Zine email campaign sent to our 1,000+ newsletter subscribers. Including:

    • Save The Date

    • Event Reminder

    • Last Chance to RSVP

    • Post-Event Thank You

    We ask our Co-Host to send a minimum of two dedicated emails to their own newsletter audience:

    • 1 Pre-Event Email

    • 1 Post-Event Email

    Don’t have an in-house marketing team? CREATEUR’s email marketing and design team is available to create a campaign aligned with your existing brand and voice.

    Partner Email Marketing and Design Support starting at $150.

.02 Host A Partner Pop-Up

Become a Two-Page Editorial Partner

$1,000 Two-Page Editorial Fully Produced by CREATEUR Zine

Not every gathering needs to be the season’s big premiere.

Our Editorial Partners have the opportunity to host a smaller CREATEUR Zine Partner Pop-Up during their partnered season, creating a more intimate way to bring our communities together.

Because CREATEUR has already interviewed you and produced your two-page editorial, our readers have had an opportunity to get to know your business before the event begins.

Your feature tells them who you are.
Your Pop-Up invites them in.

CREATEUR works with each Editorial Partner to shape an event appropriate for their space, audience, and connection to the season.

Self-Produced Partners Are Welcome Too.

Take Your Feature Off The Page.

Businesses with an approved Four-Page or Two-Page Self-Produced Feature may participate in CREATEUR Zine events throughout their partnered season with a dedicated booth or display.

Bring products. Introduce your services. Create a demonstration. Share a special offer. Meet attendees. Put a face to the business they saw inside the issue.

  • Four-Page Self-Produced Feature Zine Issue Placement – $1,000

    • Partner produced + CREATEUR approved.

    Two-Page Self-Produced Feature – $500

    • Partner produced + CREATEUR approved.

  • Self-Produced Partners don’t host the Season Premiere or Partner Pop-Up, but they still have an opportunity to become part of the in-person experience surrounding their issue.

    Your feature introduces you.
    Your presence starts the conversation.

.03 Have a Party of Your Own in Mind?

Your Event. Your Idea. Our Community, Invited.

Already have an event you want to bring to life?

Invite CREATEUR Zine to be part of it.

We partner with creative businesses, galleries, studios, shops, hospitality spaces, community organizations, and other local partners on independently produced events that give Seattle’s creative community another reason to get together.

In this partnership, you lead the event.

  • You bring the idea, the space, and the experience you want to create. CREATEUR Zine joins as an event partner–helping connect the gathering with our community, share the story, and introduce more people to what you’re building.

  • Depending on the event and partnership, CREATEUR’s involvement may include event promotion, social and email support, Zine presence or sales, Featured Creative participation, collaborative programming, or another contribution we develop together.

    This isn’t about fitting your idea into one of our events.

    It’s about bringing CREATEUR into yours.

Let’s Bring Our Communities Together

We’re always interested in getting to know local businesses and spaces doing meaningful work of their own.

A CREATEUR partnership is an opportunity to support the people we feature while introducing our community to the businesses, ideas, and experiences you’re building too.

If you see an opportunity for our communities to come together, tell us a little about your business and what you have in mind. You’ll connect directly with founder Aria Bird to start the conversation and explore how we can support one another.
