Comic Book Collecting New York

Comics and Conversation

**Comics & Conversation** is a relaxed meetup with dedicated time to read comics, followed by time to socialize and talk with other fans. Bring whatever you’re currently reading, or finally crack open something that’s been sitting in your backlog. After reading, we’ll have optional group activities like pitching a favorite recent series or comic, casual group discussions, and occasional book swaps and special guests. There’s no pressure to speak, perform, or know everything, just hang out and enjoy comics with other people who are into them. Before the meetup, feel free to stop by our partner shop right across the street, **Action City Comics**, to grab something new to read or browse their excellent selection.

Comics & Graphic Novel Making in NYC

Art X Fashion @ The Museum at FIT

Admission to the museum is free. This exhibition will be on display from February 19 until April 19, 2026. If you cannot attend the opening, please stop in and see the show at your convenience. Call ahead for hours. This exhibition is a comprehensive exploration of the symbiotic relationship between the world of fashion and fine art. Featuring more than 140 objects, including garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and original artworks drawn from MFIT's permanent collection, *Art X Fashion* challenges the traditional hierarchies of visual culture, presenting fashion and art each as parallel, potent expressions of social, intellectual, and creative forces. Curated by Dr. Elizabeth Way, curator of costume and accessories at MFIT, the exhibition reflects MFIT's mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of fashion's critical role in culture. The core of *Art X Fashion* lies in its profound engagement with the eternal question: "Is fashion art?" The exhibition explores the ways that fashion has always been a partner, not a follower, of fine art, highlighting typically overlooked integrations throughout history. This includes examples of how the two disciplines have worked together to create European styles, from the drama of Rococo and Neoclassical grandeur to the unsettling world of Surrealism, to the shock of Pop Art and postmodernism. **Share your excitement using #ArtXFashionMFIT** **Go to https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/art-fashion/index.php for more information.**
