About the exhibition
Spitball X: Ten Years of the Spitball Anthology at CCAD celebrates ten years of the successful CCAD comics anthology Spitball, the student-designed publication that pairs CCAD's emerging artists with professional writers to create a graphic anthology. This exhibition at Columbus College of Art & Design’s Beeler Gallery Project Space, 60 Cleveland Ave. is on view Thursday, Sept. 5–Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024. The exhibition will culminate with a closing reception at 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, immediately following an artist talk from Bryan Lee O’Malley (creator of the Scott Pilgrim comic book series) that comes as part of the annual Cartoon Crossroads Columbus festival.

Spitball X features both current work from CCAD alumni that showcases their post-college achievements, as well as selected pages from past Spitball anthologies.
