Comic Crossing: Art of the Graphic Narrative exhibit seeks to highlight the depth of the comic genre to todays comic and graphic narratives. We welcome submissions that provide an expression of alternative perspectives and narrative; works that give viewers an opportunity to experience the “double literacy” of the visual and written word; examples of how written and drawn narratives can create complex stories and engagement with the past, present, and future; as well as submissions that show viewers the extent of graphic narrative as an artistic medium to the experiences of individuals and communities in response to established social, historic, and economic factors.
A mini Comic Con will be held during the Art Reception currently set for Saturday, July 22nd from 10am-4pm. The Comic Con will be held in the Bankhead lobby, sidewalk and courtyard, free to the public. This date may be subject to change.
