Hey hey!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You heard that right, we are launching the crowdfunding campaign for X, the latest in MCAF\u2019s series of annual anthologies!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

X<\/em> is the second in our series Marvelous Creations And Fables<\/strong> (get it?), published by Presses du FBDM | MCAF Press<\/a>. This year, to celebrate our 10th anniversary, we invited out contributors to find inspiration in the number 10, and we can definitely say that the results are 10 out of 10! Collecting 20 original tales in a mix of English and French, this anthology is a terrific way to bring the pleasures of the Festival home to your bookshelf!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book will be available for pre-sales on the La Ruche platform<\/a> until the end of April. In addition to the book itself you\u2019ll be able to score goodies like stationery, tote bags, prints, and other fun surprises from the Montreal Comic Arts Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best news? This year MCAF is offering 5 original pieces of artwork, all benefitting the campaign and the Festival! One-of-a-kind originals from  Brigitte Archambault, Quesnel, Cab, Francis Desharnais, and M\u00e9lanie Leclerc <\/strong>will all be available exclusively on our La Ruche campaign\u2026 Don\u2019t miss your chance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information and to get your copy of X<\/em> head on over to our campaign on La Ruche<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Volunteers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, because the 10th annual MCAF is going to have some great in-person events alongside our online programming, we need YOUR help! This year the Festival will be setting up shop in a series of pop-up stores throughout the Le-Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood<\/strong>, where lovers of comics will be able to check out expos, exhibitors, and more on May 28-30, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that means we\u2019re going to need a little help from our friends\u2014Lots of help, if we are being honest\u2014in order to set up our booths and tables and to safely welcome our creators and fans, all while carefully respecting any and all health measures, naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, MCAF needs YOU, for as much or as little time as you can give (as always we are very flexible with our scheduling).  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will soon find out that the MCAF experience is a truly special one\u2026 As they say it just takes one time and you\u2019ll be hooked (we should know, we all have been for years now)! Come volunteer, celebrate the Festival\u2019s first decade, and perhaps become a part of the team for many years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
