Get prepped for Montreal Comic Arts Festival

For this the 14th Montreal Comic Arts Festival, its mission is to be a leading platform for the comic arts in Quebec and beyond, to broaden public knowledge of and engagement with the comic arts, and to promote cultural exchanges and interactions between creators, readers, and the public at large. MCAF seeks to expand the role of the comic arts in the cultural sphere and to improve the dynamism of Quebec’s comic arts industry. MCAF will become a crossroads between Europe and America, a professional and bilingual organization which unifies the field’s players.

The poster for Montreal Comics Arts Festival 2025 was created by Alex A.
