It’s called Up! Fair and it’s a free, all-day event celebrating the independent creator with hands-on workshops (make your own mini comic, learn how to screen-print) , panel discussions (the hows of independent publishing, using today’s media for marketing, how to be a dynamic storyteller), and professional development courses (adobe programs, digital coloring). The event is to encourage and educate today’s authors on their medium, art, and options. The first floor will be full of tabling authors & comic artists selling their books and talking with the public. A reception is scheduled during the 19th Gallery Hop where an exhibit of participating artist’s work will be displayed and the organizers will offer a panel discussion on the upcoming event. We keep using the word celebration…because fundamentally that is the feel behind what we’ve organized.

Sara is one of the organizers of the event and will be offering a DIY Screenprinting workshop on Sat. Nov. 20th. More details to come!
