    Proposal For An Art Comics Festival in Houston

    Uploaded by

    Robert Boyd
    The document proposes a comics festival in Houston that focuses on comics as an art form. It suggests three models for comics festivals: academics conferences, dealers' rooms conventions, and art exhibit festivals. An art exhibit model in Houston could feature public comics art exhibits and critiques for comics artists. Festivals in other cities like Lucerne and Lisbon demonstrate that a comics festival can bring visitors to a city not typically associated with comics. The festival could educate the public about comics as an art form and inspire people to read, create, study, and collect comics art.
