MOCCAFEST

The MoCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Arts Festival is a 2-day multimedia event, Manhattan’s largest independent comics, cartoon and animation festival, drawing over 7,000 attendees each year.

The CityTech Inkclub will have a table at this years’ MOCCAFEST! Citytech COMD was one of only a few art schools awarded a table at this year’s event, which will take place on April 2 and 3rd.

This is a HUGE opportunity to have fun, gain exposure, and learn about the comics and cartooning industry – maybe even make a little money off of your artwork! This will not cost students any fee to table!
