Pittsburgh's premiere independent comics event is this Sunday, April 9.
PIX is devoted solely to creator-owned, self-published, small press, and handmade comics, artists' books and other visual works.
PIX will be taking place at a NEW LOCATION in 2017: The August Wilson Center, which is located at 980 Liberty Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh – directly across the street from The ToonSeum, where this year's programs will take place. In addition, Comics Workbook will be running a series of workshops at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, locatred around the corner at 810 Penn Ave.
Admission is FREE and the event is open to the public. And, as this year PIX is taking place on a Sunday, all public street parking is FREE!
PIX 2017 is a tripartate event:
Exhibition: 11am - 6pm @ the August Wilson Center
Programming: noon - 5pm @ The ToonSeum
Workshops: noon - 5pm @ GPAC
The event will give Pittsburghers the opportunity to survey and sample a wide variety of works produced by the far ranging talents of independent comics artists, cartoonists and illustrators from around the country, with a primary focus on the flourishing Pittsburgh scene. Attendees will not only take in the works but also be able to meet and interact with the creators themselves.
