From science to politics, history to health care, cartooning has exploded as a legitimate medium for exploring non-fiction topics and the textures of lived experience.

The Non-Fiction Comics Festival is presented by Vermont Folklife and the Fletcher Free Library and sponsored by: Vermont Humanities, Vermont Arts Council, Center for Cartoon Studies, Boston Comic Arts Foundation, Phoenix Books, Sequential Artists Workshop, Cultivate, Seven Days, Generator Makerspace and Blick Art Materials.
