The Emerging Artist Mentorship (formerly the Teen Comics Mentorship program) was created to support and inspire teens interested in pursuing a career in comic arts or related fields. The program provides information, training, and opportunities to aspiring creators and will culminate with the mentees tabling at the Boise Comic Arts Festival.
Applications to participate in the BCAF XIV Emerging Artist Mentorship will open in late-winter 2026.

Visit any Boise Public Library location on Saturday, May 2 for Free Comic Book Day, an annual event where comic shops and libraries give away comic books…wait for it…for FREE. Choose from a variety of fun titles from different comics publishers. There’s a limit of two comics per person, available while supplies last. And a HUGE thank you to The Collector’s Outpost for sponsoring our celebration of Free Comic Book Day.
