Stop by booth #417 to see and purchase student artwork and learn more about the college. And we invite you to attend our free panel “Building Worlds That Outlive the Page and Screen: the Art of Comics, Games & Animation Worldbuilding” on Saturday night from 6–7 pm.
All attendees must purchase tickets for Baltimore Comic-Con through their official site.
At the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), an innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities and world-class faculty come together to support a single purpose: provide a no-holds-barred education and experience that will multiply your creative powers and give you a competitive edge in the 21st century.
From comic panels, gaming screens, and animated films, artists build worlds that feel immersive and real. How do artists create these places that people want to explore, revisit, and think about long after the story ends? Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) faculty members Laurence Arcadias, Jordan Jackson, Jabari Weathers, and Greg Lane bring their diverse perspectives from illustration, animation, comics, and game design to a panel discussion about the art and practice of worldbuilding. Moderated by MICA Media Arts Chair Emily Hanako Momohara, the panel explores how artists develop characters, create compelling narratives, and build environments that reach across different mediums. Learn how worldbuilding can become a powerful, transferable skill for your creative practice.
Over 50 undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree learning opportunities await you. Take a look at a few of our offerings below, or receive more information by clicking here.
