Non-Fiction Comics Festival

The first ever Non-Fiction Comics Festival will feature panel discussions, workshops, and exhibiting cartoonists creating non-fiction and autobiographical work.

October 15, 11am-6pm
Free to attend!

From science to politics, history to health care, cartooning has exploded as a legitimate medium for exploring non-fiction topics and the textures of lived experience. With roots in the Vermont Folklife Center’s Non-Fiction Comics Mini-Fest (2017, 2018 & 2019) and their partnership with the University of Vermont, the Pulp Culture Comic Arts Festival and Symposium (2017 & 2018), NCFS celebrates the full scope of non-fiction cartooning with the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington, Vermont.
