Calling all comic fans, young creatives, families, and community champions!
Join us for Youth Comic Con 2025, an unforgettable day of creativity, community, and fun — where kids are the stars!
This isn’t your typical comic convention. At Optimist Con, every artist in Artist Alley is a student who has written, illustrated, and published their very own comic book through our arts education programs — including our signature Comics in the Classroom initiative! You’ll get to meet these rising stars, collect their work, and be part of the movement that’s changing how young people tell their stories.
