First of all, thank you to everyone who made 2021’s Perth Comic Arts Festival the delight that it was! The impact that
Covid-19 has had on our lives, particularly the arts is still something we’re all coming to terms with. To see so many
aspects of our community come together for a medium we all love is something worth cherishing. Now, on to the
details for this year’s AGM!
We’re always happy to get new talent in to build the festival. New member applications can be sent in alongside
nominations. (Form)
On arrival at the meeting, members should check the register of members and if needed, update their name, address and
any other details.

The Perth Comic Arts Festival organising committee is so grateful for all of your patience as we’ve adapted to pandemic restrictions. We’re pleased to announce the festival day will now run from 10 am to 4 pm at ECU Mount Lawley on Sunday, 1 August.
You can still expect a vibrant market hall, art exhibition, free workshops, and talks to fill your day.
We are working hard to confirm the new date and times with participants and will release a revised program by the end of this month.
The Message in a Bottle comics/ceramics exhibition is now open, please drop by for a visit! A belated opening event is now scheduled for Thursday, 29 July.
The Comic Arts Awards of Australia ceremony is now scheduled to be held online only via streaming on Friday, 30 July. Keep an eye on their socials for information on how to tune in.
