Join us for the 2025 Festival | JULY 12 + 13 | State Library of WA

PCAF Academy

Monthly PCAF Academy is a meetup on the first Sunday of most months for community-building and knowledge-sharing.

Please note that monthly Academy sessions are community meetups, rather than family-friendly events. Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. 

These sessions usually consist of an artist talk, workshop, or other activities related to creating comics, appropriate for any skill level from beginners to pros.

A person writes on a sticky note laid out to show a comic strip.

How to get involved

We recommend joining the private PCAF Academy Facebook group for more information as that’s where ongoing community discussion happens, and you can get notified about upcoming meetups.

But if you don’t have Facebook, it’s all good! Check out our annual schedule below if you’d like to drop in on a session.

Most sessions are hosted in the Geographe Room of the State Library of WA, on Sundays from 2-4 pm. (If there is a change in room, it will be noted both in the schedule below and on the private Academy group Facebook event.)

We have up to two rest months per year to preserve our volunteer-run PCAF committee’s bandwidth.

Currently monthly Academy sessions are open to walk-ins, but if our limited space fills up, we may need to start ticketing in the future.

In the case of event cancellation, we will update the schedule on this page and the event in the private Facebook group.

All held in the State Library of WA’s Geographe Room (ground floor), 2-4 pm, unless otherwise noted.
