Lyon BD Organisation for Comic Art Europe
The Comic Art Europe project involves four European organisations representing the comic book ecosystem: The Lakes International Comic Art Festival (UK), Escola Joso (ES), The Belgian Comic Strip Centre (BE) and Lyon BD (FR). Its goal is to strengthen the comic book sector in the EU. It prefigures a European comics community capable of positioning creators and organisations at a European level.
Its main actions:
1) Opening a call for projects from comics creators who wish to access financial and developmental support (residencies, funding, tours, etc.)
2) Organising the first two summer camps for young European comics creators
3) Test and demonstrate the importance of comics as a tool for literacy
The completed works will be presented during the project’s partner festivals. Each applicant will have to make a proposal for an output format around their project which will be presented during the partner festivals (e.g. exhibition, installation, graphic novel, etc).
To be defined with selected artists.
Depends on each partners' place.
