Family Second Saturdays: “Comic Strip Stories”

The artists of the exhibtion Dear Diary: Update All use many different modes of expression to share their identities with the world. This month, kids explore self-expression and storytelling by creating their own comic strips, works that can be shown in the exhibition’s “Family Gallery.”

Victor “V.L.” Castro, noted comic book artist (The Walking Dead #100, Fantastic Four #600, Haywire) and US Army combat simulations specialist, leads the workshop, which is based on a class Castro teaches at West Point for the children of military personnel. Admission to the museum and workshop are free and open to all families, with a special welcome for families of active servicewomen and men.
