10 years, 10 Months of Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No matter what else happens in 2021, one thing is for sure: The Festival is gonna be celebrating its 10th anniversary!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

10 years already, who would have believed it? Well, we did, and so did all of you, obviously! So we\u2019re inviting you to join us over the course of the coming months for a series of events designed for both the general public as well as comic arts pros. All this amazing programing will culminate in the fall with an international conference dedicated to the comic arts, our anniversary gift to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start the festivities, we are dedicating the month of January to the people without whom the Festival simply wouldn\u2019t exist in the first place: The creators!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Montreal Comic Arts Festival<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, we\u2019ll be keeping our calendars clear for the 10th annual Montreal Comic Arts Festival, which will be taking place on the 28, 29, and 30 of May, 2021! With the knowledge that our classic pavilions probably won\u2019t be rising up in the park this year, we are hard at work to adapt to the circumstances and create environments where you can safely meet your favorite creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other elements of this year\u2019s programming will be revealed throughout the year, since we love a fun surprise once in a while. Don\u2019t worry, your patience will be well rewarded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaking the Foundations<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This year MCAF is working with McGill University\u2019s Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal (CIRM) to invite you at the conference Shaking the Foundations<\/em><\/a>, scheduled for October 28 to30, 2021. In addition to being a major part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Festival, this conference will bring together researchers, scholars, and comic book creators to share their findings, show off their work, and engage in fascinating discussions regarding the comic arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
