This month’s Picture + Panel will feature a discussion between Rosemary Mosco and Dan Nott about Hidden Worlds—the things we miss in the world all around us. BCAF President of the Board Zach Clemente will moderate.
Picture + Panel is a monthly conversation series that brings fantastic graphic novel creators to the Greater Boston area. Discover terrific authors and fascinating stories that combine text and art through conversational confabulation. Produced in partnership by Aeronaut Brewing, Porter Square Books, and the Boston Comic Arts Foundation, Picture + Panel provides thought-provoking discussions for adults about this unique form of expression.
Book sales are provided at the event by Porter Square Books.
All events at Aeronaut Brewery are for ages 21+. This event will take place in their 'Food Hub' space.
