A series of interactive workshops inspired by the Comic Craze exhibition will be held from the 12th to 14th October at Al Qattara Arts Centre in Al Ain, where the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi has organised the exhibition to run until the 13th of November. The interactive workshops will allow participants to explore the different elements and materials which are used to create a final art piece that embodies comics and social conversations.

The series of workshops will be designed to focus on twelve individual topics, providing insights into technical and creative skills that are valuable in learning the basics of drawing animated cartoons. Each day has been divided into different workshop sessions catering to specific interests.

Sumayya Al Suwaidi, Community Events Manager at The Department of Culture and Tourism, commented, “The workshops are inspired by the artworks presented in the Comic Craze exhibition by 22 artists, and presents audiences with new art trends while providing a powerful platform to express various social issues. The workshops also explore different aspects of comics and animation in a move to support the emerging creative talent of the country and the region, especially as it is an art that is witnessing remarkable growth and popularity for artists and the public alike. "

The workshops will run from Thursday, October 12th to Saturday, October 14th, from 5pm to 7pm.
