In addition to booths, OPaf 7 will feature performances, readings, and talks, and the return of the OPaf Workshop Tent – an educational community art workshop area and vibrant hub for community engagement offering a range of interactive workshops and creative activities. Attendees can also learn how to screenprint with the PrintShop LA, who will be printing exclusive OPaf merch all day.
