Eric San) will be launching the Festival in style with an exclusive evening show. He will also be signing his graphic novel and albums on the main Festival dates, Saturday May 28 and Sunday May 29 2005. His show kicks off the second gathering of international independent cartoonists, comic artists and graphic novelists under the TCAF banner (the inaugural Festival took place in March 2003).
Featuring a diverse array of Canadian cartoonists, in addition to artists and graphic novelists from the United States and Europe, The Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) will showcase the talents of its guests with an ambitious programme of gallery presentations, lectures, workshops, discussion panels and interactive readings. Guests include graphic novelists and creators like Gary Panter, Chester Brown and Ho Che Anderson, and many others who have recently been featured in the pages of The New Yorker, The Globe and Mail, McSweeney‚s Issue 13 (the comics issue), The New York Times, NYTRB, Time, and others. With this instalment, TCAF has expanded and will include over 6,000 feet of festival space, 100+ cartoonists, and 2 full days of programming and events. All of which take place in the in the heart of Toronto‚s historic Mirvish Village district.
TCAF was founded in 2003 in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback to interaction between the creative community and the public witnessed at similar alternative festivals around the world. TCAF is Canada‚s opportunity to not only promote and celebrate homegrown artistic talent, but also to broaden its scope and showcase creators from the US and abroad, many appearing in Toronto for the first time. This prestigious gathering of artists will attract international and national audience.
