ISCA European Chapter

2011-01-23T16:33:00.002+01:00

To all interested caricaturists: there will be a EUROPEAN CHAPTER of ISCA soon!
We have a first board now (Jan Op De Beeck, José Manuel Bergé and Emi Sato), which is starting up the European Chapter and is organizing it's first ISCA minicon in Girona.
At the GIRONA MINICON, there will be elections held for making the new board. The main purpose of the new board should be:
- organizing a new minicon in two years time;
- attracting new artists who have the possibility to subscribe to ISCA.
Every attendee who is a member of ISCA and living in Europe is allowed to be a candidate and to vote. We need a president, a vice-president, and a treasurer/secretary!
You can already write to Jan Op De Beeck (opdebeeckkarikaturen@gmail.com) if you want to be a candidate for the new board.

More info coming soon!
