Special Projects: Comics Seminar

Opening September 13, 2026, Special Projects: Comics Seminar is an eight-week course at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center designed for creators who want to bring longer-form personal comics to life. The program offers structured guidance through the full process of developing a substantial comics project, with particular attention to story structure, visual pacing, and the other craft elements that make extended narratives work on the page. Participants will work within a supportive studio environment in Hyattsville, Maryland, as part of the art center’s broader educational programming in printmaking, papermaking, and book arts.

The course begins with a two-hour session on Sunday, September 13, 2026, running from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. As an eight-week offering, it continues over subsequent weeks, giving students time to develop their ideas and receive ongoing feedback. The exact schedule of later sessions is not listed in the available materials, and no pricing information has been published. The seminar suits comics makers at any stage of planning a longer personal work, from initial concept through pacing and page-by-page storytelling.
