Ashland Library Young Artists Comics Fest!

The Boston Kids Comics Foundation Announces the Ashland Library Young Artists Comics Fest! BOSTON, MA -- This year, the Boston Kids Comics Foundation is pioneering a new comics festival that spotlights kid authors and artists: the Ashland Library Young Artists Comics Festival, which will be held Sunday, July 13th.&nbsp; This unique comics festival is special in that it will feature young comics-makers -- kids eight to eighteen who are making their own comics and, now, will have the opportunity to sell and share them with readers. ALYAC will feature a full slate of workshops, live-drawing sessions, book signings, and a Calmer Space for anyone who needs a break from the festivities.&nbsp; Festival Director Meena Jain says, "As the past director of the Boston Kids Comics Fest, the most important aspect, for me, was the kids who sold their comics. I always marveled at their enthusiasm, ingenuity, and creativity. I am so pleased to highlight this aspect of the BKCFest at ALYAC to give kids eight to eighteen a platform to showcase and sell their comics. It's super fun for the adults and shows kids that their work is valued and appreciated. Creating this space for them is absolutely wonderful! Who knows, there might be a Jeff Kinney or Raina Telgemeier in the group." As well as kid comics-makers, ALYAC will host featured guests Jarrett Krosoczka and John Patrick Green, with workshops led by local graphic novelists Cara Bean, Mark Parisi, Jannie Ho, Debbie Dadey, and Angeli Rafer.&nbsp; ALYAC will be held on Sunday, June 13th from 10am - 5pm at the Ashland Public Library, 66 Front St, Ashland, MA, 01721.&nbsp; Find out more about ALYAC: https://www.bostoncomicarts.org/alyac Contact Meena Jain at ashlandprograms@minlib.net for more information, interview requests, or promotional images. ALYAC is possible thanks to support from the Boston Comics Art Foundation, and sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Library. Logo designed by Ashland High School student Riya Dubey.
