OPENING: 5.30pm Tuesday 27 March.
OPEN: 11.00am - 6.00pm Wednesday - Saturday.

Presenting comics and zines by six young Wellington artists/writers, Comics Generation showcases the

exciting work produced by children and young people using the immediacy of self publishing to create and distribute their own media.

Ranging in age from five to 17, and using a variety of methods and approaches to visual storytelling, the artists have been brought together for this exhibition in recognition of their independent achievements in comic book and zine creation.

Original art work and work in progress will be shown along with finished comics and zines available for purchase.

In conjunction with the exhibition two workshops will be held to engage children in creating their own characters and making zines and comic book stories. These will occur Saturday 31 March and be presented by experienced tutors, with one freestyle workshop suitable for all ages, and a second focused on story and character development for older children. For workshop information please contact Paul Sanders at spacecatadventures@gmail.com.
