NOW SHOWING: The Art of the News: Comics Journalism
September 24th, 2021 to January 16th, 2022
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art

Curated by NMCC faculty affiliate Katherine Kelp-Stebbins (Assistant Professor, English), with associate curator and director of Comics Studies, Ben Saunders (Professor, English), The Art of the News is the “first major retrospective devoted to this increasingly influential genre of visual narrative.”

“By focusing not only on the finished works, but also on the methodology and techniques that each artist employs—the painstaking gathering of information through extensive research and interviews, and the labor-intensive production of comics pages—the exhibition highlights the ethical imperatives that drive this form of documentation.”
