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!

How can YOU participate?

TABLE:

Current students and recent alumni (FA19/SP20 and after) may table the event and sell their own: books, comics, zines, limited edition prints and more!

Those tabling the event will be able to set their price points and will be able to sell their work. You are paying your own costs to print your work. You keep what you make.
