Year 2 of the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival (A2CAF): Small + Indie Press 2024 was held on Saturday, October 5, 2024 in the Ann Arbor, Michigan downtown library, which also provided free giveaway prints and flyers for attendees. The show expanded in offering workshop for risograph printing to anyone inclined to print out their art to go along with the special guests who spoke in panels and signed for fans afterwards, and of course the exhibit floor with many up-and-coming young cartoonists as well as seasoned ones tabling to meet new and longtime comic fans to peruse and purchase their work to enjoy and appreciate. It's a great show to attend in a very nice setting and town, and there will be another one in 2025, around the same time again. Be on the lookout for their announcements in the near future! Top notch work by festival/library staf and Athenaeum Comic Art for organizing and getting the word out to get the buzz going for an indie comics celebration in Ann Arbor!
