2. What Is TCAF?
TCAF is The Toronto Comic Arts Festival.
It is a week long celebration of comics and
graphic novels and their creators, which
culminates in a two-day exhibition and
vendor fair featuring hundreds of comics
creators from around the world. Other
Festival events include readings, interviews,
panels, workshops, gallery shows, art
installations, and much more. Since 2009,
TCAF has been held at Toronto Reference
Library in Toronto, Canada, and presented by
Toronto Public Library.
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2015 will
take place Saturday, May 9th, 9am-5pm, and
Sunday May 10th, 11am-5pm, at Toronto
Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street.
Admission is free.
History
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival exists to
promote the breadth and diversity of comics,
and what is considered comics, as legitimate
medium of literary and artistic worth. We seek
to promote the creators of these works in
their broad and diverse voices, for the
betterment of the medium of comics and to
reach as wide an audience as possible for
them.
The first Toronto Comic Arts Festival (“TCAF”)
was held on the weekend of March 29th 2003.
It was the natural progression of years of
disparate book signings, author appearances
and miscellaneous events put together by a
group of volunteers interested in promoting
the literary and artistic merits of comic books
and graphic novels. Approximately 600
members of the public attended the first
festival, with 25 staff and approximately 70
creators in attendance.
Attendance and excitement grew during
subsequent events, held every two years.
TCAF 2005 was held the weekend of May
28-29, and saw approximately 6,000
attendees visit the large tents set up on the
grounds of Honest Ed’s department store.
TCAF 2007 moved back indoors to the Victoria
College building on the University of Toronto,
and it also featured about 6,000 attendees
over the August 18-19 weekend. TCAF 2009
was held in conjunction with Toronto Public
Library in their massive flagship location,
Toronto Reference Library. 10,500 people
visited the festival on the weekend of May 9th
and 10th, engaging over 300 exhibitors
consisting of authors, artists, publishers, from
6 different countries including France,
Germany, Japan, and England.
