“Drawing” Attention to PEI’s Comic Book Artists
“Behind the Panels: Selected Works by Various Island Comic Book Creators” will be on display until October 5th, 2018.

There is also a section including artwork by some of PEI's rising talents. In July and August, the centre is open Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and noon to 5 on Sunday. Admission is by donation. The on-site gift shop carries only Island art and craft, as well as books on local themes. Don’t miss the permanent exhibition on the history and architecture of Summerside, too.
