Ratha Con was started by the staff of ARTS/West: Athens Community Gateway to the Arts, in Athens, Ohio as a way to highlight the talents of local comic creators, and also as a fun event for those who love pop culture.  The first Ratha Con saw just a few artists, vendors, and authors, and a little over 200 people came to the one day convention.  Since then, Ratha Con has grown every year.  Join us on April 19th, 2025 for the best Ratha Con yet!
