The Quad City area public libraries and the Figge Art Museum have teamed up to offer the area libraries’ first anime convention for teens. The jam-packed event will take place at the Figge on Saturday, October 18th, from 12-4:30.

If you’re a fan of anime and manga, you won’t want to miss out on this unique program. The lineup of events includes an art show and reception, tea tasting, cosplay and face painting stations, comic book/graphic novel swap, screening of Spirited Away, graphic novel workshop with a local professional artist, cosplay fashion show, and a fun awards ceremony to announce the art contest/cosplay fashion show winners. There will also be Anime vendors on site, too. Surely, there’ll be something for everyone at this event! Admission for the day is just $5 and there is no registration required.

Stay tuned to the blog for more info as the event approaches. Or feel free to contact the teen representatives at your local public library for more details.

Prior to the anime event, various public libraries will be holding a manga art contest. Entries will be on display at the Figge the day of the Anime Fest. Winners will be selected by a professional artist and announced at the awards ceremony.
