Rice University Comic Art Teaching & Study Workshop. CATS (Comic Art Teaching and Study Workshop) is a research space and annex classroom for Studio Art based in the Department of Art at Rice University. It’s a repository for original comic art and books available to students, faculty and guests of the Department of Art. CATS has over 2,400 pieces of original comic art from Mexico dating from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s. These works were featured in a traveling exhibition entitled Between Love and Madness: Mexican Comic Art from the 1970s, held in Berlin, Houston and Chicago.
This event is sponsored by the UNT Libraries and Comics Studies at UNT — a diverse collaboration of faculty, staff, students, creators, and comics fans in the UNT community.
