#PickoftheWeek | Two-Day Sci-Fi Convention Goes Warp Speed Into Jamaica

Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning is beaming into another dimension.

Get the details at JCON 2024, a Sci-Fi-Fantasy-Horror convention to happen from noon to 6 pm on two Sundays – Feb. 3 and Feb. 17.

Attendees can expect an artist market, live commissions, workshops, artist talks, and maybe even some Star Trek costumes.

Attendance is free, and JCAL is located at 161-04 Jamaica Ave.

Curated and conceived by Program Associate Zachary Frater, JCON 2024 coincides with Parables of the Unknown: The Art of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror, which is on display at JCAL until March 1. The exhibition features artists who used pop culture to construct private universes and deliver subtle social commentary via their comics, costumes, paintings, prints, sculptures, videos, etc.
