Panel One Comics Hub @ Sparrow ArtSpace

About the Residency

Panel One Comics Society is transforming Sparrow Artspace into a vibrant comic hub. Panel One members from Calgary will be working on comic book, zine and graphic storytelling projects throughout the month of October. Panel One is bringing awareness and exposing the YYC community to the talented comic creators in their backyard. Throughout the residency, our members are bringing collaboration, community and creativity through their residency, workshops and stories.

Panel One promises to celebrate Canadian comic creators and graphic storytellers.

At Panel One, we believe in the excellent comic creators and graphic storytellers in Canada. We are a collective of comic creators and graphic storytellers from all career stages and disciplines. Our collective works together to put a spotlight on local, original work. We have built a sustainable community of support, celebration, promotion and professional development opportunities.
