What is a Pop Culture Convention, you ask? It's a celebration of all things sci-fi and fantasy, tech and geek, art and gaming!
At the convention, enjoy comic book-writing and drawing seminars, a costume contest (wear your best comic costume to the library), a costume makeup workshop, and a screening of Star Wars. There will also be gaming (Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, PS3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4), crafts, and food!
And enjoy a visit from the 501st, a legion of Darth Vader's star troopers who describe themselves as "an all-volunteer organization formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts under a collective identity within which to operate. The Legion seeks to promote interest in Star Wars through the building and wearing of quality costumes, to facilitate the use of these costumes for Star Wars-related events, as well as contributions to the local community through costumed charity and volunteer work" (www.501st.com).
You will have the opportunity to take part in workshops pertaining to comic book illustration, makeup creation, hair design, character painting, and more!
Local teen artists will be displaying their work for the public! The library is still accepting artists who want to display, so if you want to show off your work, give us a call at 304-267-8933.
The library is also partnering with local businesses who will be offering their games, collectibles, and more for purchase on the plaza.
