On September 5, 12, 19, and 26, Heavy Manners Library, gallery and bookstore, will activate LAMAG’s lobby and outdoor spaces with a rotating lineup of zine vendors, video projections under the stars in the Barnsdall Park pine grove, all designed to spark curiosity and conversation.
Friday Art Nights run from 5:00–8:00 p.m. every Friday in September. These programs offer visitors a chance to connect with artists and new work in a relaxed evening setting.

Heavy Manners is a lending library, gallery, and bookstore that seeks to provide a space for developing, sharing, and discussing artwork and creative practice. Because formal art education is increasingly becoming cost-prohibitive and inaccessible, Heavy Manners hopes to be an alternative resource. Our collection focuses on self and independently published books, zines, and other media. Additionally, the library works directly with artists and small publishers to make overlooked, out-of-print, and hard-to-find media accessible. After signing up for one of our membership options, members receive a library card and can borrow books from the library. Visitors are welcome to browse or scan our collection during our open hours. In tandem with the mission of the lending library, Heavy Manners also presents events and gallery shows in our exhibit space, theater, and classroom. With these programs, we hope to create opportunities for budding artists to share their work and for established artists to experiment with new projects. We prioritize programming that provides educational opportunities for those in the community.
