What’s life like after art school? Join us for a conversation and live comics reading with three Mason alumni: Lee Strawberry (BFA '19), Ash Smith (BA '22), and Sylvia Rossi (BFA '23)! Attendees will learn a little more about being working cartoonists, and how these creators keep their practice going.

Following the discussion, Sylvia Rossi will lead a comics workshop and Risograph printing demonstration from 12-1:30PM.

Registration recommended, no experience needed. Snacks and supplies will be provided.

This event is sponsored by Mason Libraries, Mason Exhibitions, and University Life.
