Atlantic Gallery is pleased to present Graphically Speaking: The Art of Comic Storytelling on view June 23 – July 11, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held for the artists on Thursday, June 25, 6 – 8 PM.

This exciting exhibition features the work of 31 artists showcasing the beauty of comic book storytelling in their own unique ways. The Curator, comics publishing executive, Steve Rotterdam collaborated with a respected comics and graphic novel editor, Mike Marts to select all the work in the exhibition. They will award one artist a prize of a one-night spotlight and hosted discussion at the Atlantic Gallery at a future date.
