This is often the case for international guests, as well as artists from outside of the Greater Montreal, and it\u2019s primarily these invitations we\u2019ll discuss here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By receiving an invitation directly from their publisher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By registering as an exhibitor to secure a space at MCAF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MCAF is a non-profit organization, and the costs associated with&nbsp; guest invitations are shared between the Festival, publishers, and our international partners. Depending on the artist\u2019s country of origin or residence, certain programs help cover a portion of travel expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-Table-Ronde-FBDM-2024-avec-A.T.-Pratt-Nino-Bulling-et-Alex-Baladi-.jpg\" alt=\"L\u2019attribut alt de cette image est vide, son nom de fichier est 02-Table-Ronde-FBDM-2024-avec-A.T.-Pratt-Nino-Bulling-et-Alex-Baladi-.jpg.\" style=\"width:510px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Round table with A.T.

We take the opportunity to send out a few invitations early, especially to well-known comic artists located abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Fall, after meeting with our exhibitors (mostly publishers, but also some distributors), the list of guests grows. Based on recent and upcoming releases, the publishing houses confirm which creators they would like to showcase at the Festival, and we discuss which artists will be invited in partnership or by them directly. The programming committee also contributes to the selection by suggesting some names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;<\/em><span><em style=\"font-style: italic;\">Choosing the artists to invite to the Festival is always an exciting moment.

Sometimes, people are interested but heavily booked, whether due to commitments to other events or periods dedicated to creating new work. Increasingly, some also decline to come to Canada for environmental reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MCAF&#8217;s goal is to offer a parity of artists, aligned with the publishers participating in the Festival and representatives of the current comic scene, including both established and emerging creators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-Lorenzo-Palloni-FBDM-2024.jpg\" alt=\"L\u2019attribut alt de cette image est vide, son nom de fichier est 02-Lorenzo-Palloni-FBDM-2024.jpg.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lorenzo Palloni at MCAF 2024 &#8211; photo: S\u00e9bastien Lavall\u00e9e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-24e-Prix-Bedelys.jpg\" alt=\"24e prix B\u00e9d\u00e9lys, 2024\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards Event at MCAF 2024 &#8211; photo: S\u00e9bastien Lavall\u00e9e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>A Festival of Connections<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Montreal Comic Arts Festival brings together a large number of comic artists, creating a wonderful opportunity for exchange among them.
