The first school for comic strips and game art/dev in Switzerland Since its foundation, more than twenty years ago, EPAC has ceaselessly explored new paths in tune with both national and international development of comics, illustration and new media. As such, it was the first Swiss school to offer students a Comics creation course, as well as a Game Art training program. Nowadays, EPAC also offers courses in interactive design and frequently organizes masterclasses and workshops. Many personalities from such industries as comics, script-writing, illustration and animation have visited or attended the EPAC during those two decades. Media is an ever-evolving field. Therefore, so are our teaching processes. Located in the heart of the Valaisan Alps, in the municipality of Saxon, EPAC benefits from an attractive environment, while remaining close to such urban communities as Martigny and Sion - and less than one-hour drive from Lausanne. On school premises, students can enjoy more than 600 m2 dedicated to narrative arts. The training courses consist of a mix of practical and theoretical teachings, as well as workshops given by prominent comics artists, illustrators, screenwriters, game artists or interactive designers.
