Pride in Panels Photo Gallery and Future Outlook
The Pride in Panels indie comics festival in San Francisco faces uncertainty due to the closure of its host institution, the California College of the Arts. Despite this, organizers are actively planning to continue the event independently.
Pride in Panels has served as a vital hub for independent comics in San Francisco since its inception. While the upcoming transition of the CCA campus to Vanderbilt University threatens the festival's traditional institutional support, organizers remain committed to its future. The event continues to celebrate queer comics and creators through panels, workshops, and exhibitions. A recent photo gallery highlights the vibrant community and diverse talent showcased at the 2026 festival.
