Cardboard Superheroes Weekend Workshop
January 15 & 16, Noon - 5 p.m.

Build your favorite pop-culture characters out of cardboard -- such as Wall-E, Minecraft Steve, Captain America's Shield, Thor's Hammer, PAC-MAN, and more with Cardboard Superheroes, a non-profit that promotes the arts in education.

In this special 2-day workshop only at the Comic-Con Museum, come meet the teenage founders of Cardboard Superheroes, Connor Lee and Bauer Lee, who have been building life-sized models since they were in 4th grade. They have extended their collection to include HulkBuster armor, C-3PO, Groot, and more! As an added bonus, you can make your own special effects action video with SEARCH Your Voice , an organization helping kids build confidence and become better public speakers. Become your favorite superhero, such as Captain America, Thor, or Wonder Woman, shooting lightning bolts, dodging lasers, or wielding the power of Mjölnir!

Bring your leftover cardboard boxes from the holidays to use to build the models, so we can all work to recycle and support a sustainable world.

Admission: Free to museum attendees on Jan. 15-16 on a first-come basis

Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 15-16, 2022 from Noon – 5 p.m., at The Conrad Prebys Art Studio

Comic-Con International (Comic-Con), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is opening the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego’s Balboa Park. This new cultural attraction will encourage an appreciation of comics and related popular arts through exhibitions, performances, educational programs, and outreach efforts. The Comic-Con Museum will be a year-round operation, manifesting the same values of accessibility, curiosity and appreciation that have driven the organization’s world-famous conventions. Through exhibits that refresh frequently and consistently, and programs that offer opportunities to learn, experience, and participate, the Museum will continue to build awareness and appreciation for the valuable contribution of popular culture. The Museum will be visitor-focused, whether a Comic-Con fan or a member of the general public and will provide engrossing experiences that engage curiosity and inspire learning.

Dates and times of events are subject to change without notice. Always check the event organizer's website for the most updated schedule before attending.
