Alaska Robotics Mini-Con will tentatively take place on May 6th, 2023 and we hope to have your support in making it a great event for the community.
In 2016 we hosted Juneau’s first-ever comic convention and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Thousands of kids and adults flocked to downtown Juneau to meet award winning authors, filmmakers and illustrators and participate in workshops and presentations given by our guests. This year we want to build on our successes and we need your help.
Comic conventions are more than just comics. They’ve grown into festivals celebrating popular culture and visual arts. Our tiny convention has taken on much of that same spirit, incorporating costumes, games and music alongside illustration, zines and comics.
There were sketching sessions where kids could draw with renowned artists and many of our visiting guests were able to visit public schools to work with students of all ages.
In addition to the convention, we host a three day comics camp for working professionals. The sense of community and collective inspiration of the camp was remarkable and we’re excited to bring together a new group this year.
Thank you for your help!
