INDIANA – The Indiana Center for the Book at the Indiana State Library and the Arkansas Center for the Book at the Arkansas State Library are partnering to present a program featuring Nate Powell on the theme “The Graphic Arts and the Reading Experience.”
The program will take place online via Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time/6:30 p.m. Central Time. The presentation will focus on the use of comics and graphical arts to communicate as a mass medium, as well as how a graphic writer envisions, creates, and curates the reading experience. The program is suitable for teens and adults.
Powell is the first cartoonist ever to win the National Book Award. He is from Little Rock, Arkansas, and lives in Bloomington. Powell’s work has also received a Robert F.
