The Youth Artist Program is hosting a virtual manga comic art workshop from June 24 – July 16.

Each young artist will receive supplies that include paper, pencils, and other resource materials. The workshop focuses on teaching manga drawing techniques, storyboarding, inking, and coloring. Each artist will create a four-page manga with a book cover for a manga anthology.  The anthology will be published as well as distributed online by Taller.

Illustration experience is not required. The workshop is a celebration of manga, anime, comic art, and the spirit of storytelling. Acceptance to the program is first-come, first-serve. There are only 20 spots for this workshop.
