The launch party will be a great time to celebrate the announcement of a forthcoming printed anthology (designed by “Infinite Mile” contributor Osman Khan) that will include images and all the articles that appeared in the first year of “Infinite Mile” (December 2013 – November 2014). This publication—made possible in part by a Knight Arts grant—is a capstone to the hard work and achievements made by the contributors and editors. The anthology proceeds will help offset operating costs, pay contributors and organize release parties.

The Cass Cafe is the place to be for infinite mile festivities, and the chance to discuss the newest issue content with contributors.
