OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 4, 2025) — The first-ever Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival (OCAF) will be held Saturday, Sept. 13 at Oklahoma Contemporary featuring the excitement and discovery of a comic convention with the arts educational programming for which Oklahoma Contemporary is known.
Free to the public, OCAF is a family-friendly celebration of comics, manga, and visual storytelling that will offer visitors the opportunity to meet dozens of Oklahoma comic creators, as well as celebrated creators from across the country, including Gavin Guidry (Action Comics, Uncanny X-Men, Superman 78), Steenz! (Heart of the City, Archival Quality), Andy Hirsch (Science Comics Dogs, Science Comics Cats, History Comics: The American Bison), and many more.
“There is so much enthusiasm for comics and the arts in Oklahoma and we’re super excited to showcase amazing Oklahoman creators as well as talent from across the country,” said Robert Wilson IV, OCAF board member and comic creator. “Oklahoma City deserves a venue to discover local talent, meet their favorite creators, and learn from them in the kind of educational programming that Contemporary is celebrated for.”
In addition to meeting comic creators and artists, there will be workshops for kids and adults alike, as well as plans for on-site food trucks, cafe and bar, and t-shirt screen printing.
“Partnering with the Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival aligns perfectly with our mission to make contemporary art accessible and relevant to all. Comics are a powerful storytelling medium that resonate across generations, and this collaboration allows us to celebrate the creativity and wide range of voices found within the comic arts,” said Trent Riley, Executive Director Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.
