Did you know that Beverly hosts the oldest active solar site in the country? Join Hidden Systems artist and author Dan Nott for a talk and workshop on nonfiction comics and cartooning, and a look behind the scenes at the comic he made about Beverly's new solar project. Beverly Sustainability Office has enlisted Dan Nott to turn complex concepts about the City's solar portfolio into a comic asking how solar energy works, and what impact it has on our community's goals to fight climate change? This program is best suited for grades 6 and up; all are welcome!

Dan Nott, an artist, cartoonist, and educator from Massachusetts and now residing in Vermont, holds an MFA from the Center for Cartoon Studies. Nott teaches a graduate-level course on comics history, theory, and communities, and has published Hidden Systems, a nonfiction graphic novel exploring the internet, electric grid, and water systems through comics, won the Vermont Book Award and was nominated for a National Book Award.
