DCAF 2020 is cancelled – we hope to be back in 2021!
Very sad to report that with “all this” going on, we can’t really see a way to get DCAF 2020 operational. We’re going to reschedule for 2021 and hope that events and gatherings may be possible in a safe way by then.
Our apologies to all. It’s a great joy to put on the event and we may get involved in promoting some smaller events to keep getting the word out on local comics and cartoonists and beyond!
