Tellus Zine

Tellus Zine is youth-led digital publication, showcasing visual art and creative writing by young adults from across Greater Cincinnati. Tellus’s mission is to provide a platform for young people to express themselves bravely and creatively as a part of our diverse community. The zine was developed as an off-shoot of Kennedy Heights Arts Center’s Teen Artists for Change program. Tellus is a Latin word meaning “Earth” and also can be broken down into the invitation: “Tell us!” The students selected the name for their publication because of this double meaning.

We are now accepting application for the 2022-2023 Tellus Editorial Board! Click here for more information. Applications are due by September 24, 2022. 

With generous support from the Charles H. Dater Foundation, ArtsWave and the Ohio Arts Council, this program is offered at no cost to teens.
