Panel One Comics Society is transforming Sparrow ArtSpace into a vibrant comic hub. Panel One members from Calgary will work on their comic books, zines and graphic storytelling projects throughout October. Panel One is bringing awareness and exposing the YYC community to the talented comic creators in their backyard. Throughout the residency, our members are bringing collaboration, community and creativity through their residency, workshops and stories.

Sparrow Artspace is located in the historic deWaal building (b.1910) in Bridgeland, in Mohkinstis (Blackfoot for “elbow” where the two rivers meet, otherwise known as Calgary). Sparrow Artspace gratefully acknowledges that we stand on Treaty 7 territory, ancestral home to the Blackfoot Confederacy (which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Stoney-Nakoda First Nations, (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations), the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
