Founded in 2012, ELCAF’s aim is to introduce and celebrate both small press publications and the dynamic community of individual artists and collectives that are pushing the boundaries in comics, illustration, graphic and sequential art here in the UK and abroad. Each year ELCAF has seen an incredible growth; larger venues, more exhibitors, and a greater number of people coming through the doors.
As a result, ELCAF 2015 will now be held over two days and will include an extended programme of events. In addition to our trademark workshops and talks during the two days of ELCAF itself, we will also be running a new series of Masterclasses in collaboration with House of Illustration, plus a satellite exhibition and workshop by Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo at NOW Gallery‘s Urban Village Fete.
Over the two days of the ELCAF weekend, you’ll have the chance to pick up affordable art and prints, chat to the artists, and participate in a programme of events suitable for people of all ages. The weekend’s events will also be accompanied by an exciting selection of music from guest DJs as well as food and drinks available from the cafe at The Laundry.
