Summer 2021 Workshops and Presentation | June - July 2021 | Online and In-Person | FREE and Pay-What-You-Can
This summer we'll have plenty to choose from - virtual workshops for teens and adults, in-person workshops for tweens and up, and the first of a series of collaborative events with AIGA!
The Virtual Authors Festival: Visual Storytelling is this year's celebration of story that is presented annually by the Octavia Fellin Public Library. The festival typically brings in 1500 participants for presentations and workshops from artists, filmmakers, poets, and authors to get your summer rolling with storytelling and creativity during the entire month of May. All events are free and virtual, including a Between the Panels workshop.
We're excited to partner with AIGA-NM (American Institute of Graphic Arts) for the first of a series of events exploring where comics and design overlap and diverge. This series will be presented through a variety of venues as it develops.

The object that is your book. How can it contain your ideas? We explore the difference between plot and theme as we create book-like objects appropriate to your story.

Translating a written story into a visual language can be done in many different ways. In this panel discussion graphic designers, illustrators, and comics creators elaborate on different methods to translate stories.
