Fort Collins Comic Con is back August 14–16 at the Fort Collins Senior Center. The weekend celebrates creativity in all its forms, bringing together artists, authors, cosplayers, makers, gamers, and fans from across the region. You can learn more and purchase badges at FoCoComicCon.com.
You can also find NOCO Creative Network participating in three different ways throughout this year’s festivities and we’d love to see you there:
1. Stop by the NOCO Creative Network Community Booth
Our booth will be home base throughout Comic Con.
We'll be featuring work from several Northern Colorado artists, sharing information about what we're building at NCN, and having conversations about what artists need to build sustainable, connected creative careers.
Whether you're looking to meet other creatives, learn about upcoming events, or simply see what we're working on, we'd love to meet you.
2. Join Our Interactive Discussion: Channel Your Inner Nerd
Every creative brings something different to the table.
In Channel Your Inner Nerd: Creativity Restart & Creative Connection, we'll explore how our individual strengths become even more powerful when they're supported by community.
Together we'll talk about questions like:
- What is your creative superpower?
- Who belongs on your team?
- Where do you go when you need support?
- How can your creativity make your community stronger?
This session is designed to be interactive, thoughtful, and welcoming to creatives at every stage of their journey.
3. Check Out The Secret Map to OP Creative Powers
NCN Co-founders, Sheri Lauren and Kyah Probst are also excited to support Alex Reynolds of Charming Quail Jewelry Design as he presents The Secret Map to OP Creative Powers.
This panel explores something every creative experiences but rarely talks about: failure.
Through stories, practical tools, and honest conversation, Alex will explore how failure, experimentation, and resilience become some of our greatest creative strengths. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, writer, or maker, you'll leave with a new perspective on creative growth.
We Hope to See You There
Comic Con is one of our favorite examples of what happens when people gather around the things they love.
If you're attending this year, we hope you'll stop by the booth, join us for Channel Your Inner Nerd, and check out The Secret Map to OP Creative Powers while you're there.
We'll be sharing booth hours, panel times, and RSVP information as the schedule is finalized.
