Join in us for the opening reception of our latest
exhibition, “Graphic Worlds: Exploring Comic and Anime Art.” This historic event marks the first-ever
collaboration between a museum, Metrocon, and Tampa Bay’s Comic Convention.
“Graphic Worlds” showcases over 50 artworks from dozens of international artists, spanning a diverse range of mediums. The exhibition, running through January 5th, challenges the misconception of comics, manga, and anime as ‘low-brow’ art by highlighting their deep
historical roots and cultural significance.
Opening Reception Highlights:
Live performance by a cellist playing classic anime scores
Appearances by participating artists and a celebrity
cosplayer
Japanese specialty food and beverages
Live caricature artists capturing the excitement of the event
We look forward to seeing you there!
