The Story
Urban Con is the newest chapter of the Love’s Army exhibition series, evolving from immersive art shows into a comic and Comic-Con–style gathering. This month-long exhibition celebrates comic artists, illustrators, storytellers, and toy creators whose work expands how we imagine heroes, futures, and communities.
Curated by B/ue Robin and Jae Martin, Urban Con took place on November 8, 2025, at the Urban Art Gallery, bringing creators and audiences together for a day of art, performance, and connection. The exhibition ran throughout the entire month of November.
