The Explore Holyoke community calendar highlights the arts and cultural events throughout the city to help plan your visit. You are invited to submit your event. Events encouraged to be submitted are art openings, dance concerts, open mic events, cultural lectures. Events not allowed on the calendar are, political fundraisers, city meetings and daily specials from restaurants.
On October 5, from 12-3 pm at the Print Shop (62 Main Street, Holyoke), artists and writers are invited to create a 24-page comic in 24 hours. Grab a supply kit with drawing materials, idea worksheets, and templates. You can work from home or stay and sketch with us. Started by Scott McCloud in 1990, the challenge is simple: start and finish your comic within 24 hours. No pre-planned plots or character sketches allowed, and all breaks count! There is no cost to participate; this program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Registration required.
