We Are Very Amused

Karen Rubins is Comics Artist In Residence at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from 1st July. Good news for sequential art and sequential artists everywhere.

From Karen :
The residency programme in general is pretty new, they've only been going for about a year or two, and this is the first Comics-themed residency they've had. We're going to be doing quite a few comics events here, mostly in the Autumn, and I'll keep you informed about those as and when I get the info.
The residency was announced last year and I think the V&A received around 150 applicants! The application process involved quite a few questions, each of which required something like a mini-essay. There was a presentation and interview stage for the final five back in February. In general, the Residency programme is there so that the museum can be involved with the creating and making, and not just the appreciation, of design - to have a live creative space so that visitors can really engage with the design process and discover disciplines and crafts that they may not have had a chance to think about before.

Go and visit!
