THE CENTER FOR CARTOON STUDIES AT MoCCA in NYC

Saturday, November 14, 1-4pm


White River Junction, VT- The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) will be presenting at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA). CCS will be providing a gallery talk and presentation on its programs and faculty along with a book signing by James Sturm. Before his breakthrough book, The Golem's Mighty Swing, James Sturm produced two bold, remarkable short novellas set in different periods on the American frontier. Both stories, The Revival and Hundreds of Feet Below Daylight, are collected together for the first time in Above and Below, an eighty-page deluxe comic book published by Drawn and Quarterly. Prospective students wishing to attend The Center for Cartoon Studies in fall 2005 are encouraged to bring drawings, comics, and sketchbooks for review to this special event. Information about the school will be available and staff will be reviewing work and providing feedback. This is a unique opportunity to meet with CCS faculty and learn more about the programs and the admissions process.
