For Festival2024

What already? Yep. We’re extra eager for your lovely cartoons this year.

As usual we have three shows that are open to everyone:

BEASTS!

Beasts. Of the air, of the field, of the seas. Beasts of burden and beasts of buoyancy. Beasts in human form. Beasts in human pants.

Beasts from beyond, and from whatever the opposite of beyond is. Just… any sort of beast. What does the word mean to you?

I’ve written it too many times now, I can’t remember.

But be it a cute fluffy puppy or the deadly banana slug, mythological monstrosity or bouncy bird, we just want your beasts!

GENERAL MAYHEM

And then there’s the show for everything else – especially topical and satirical cartoons – from any place and on any issue around all the world.

Including any great gags that happen notto be about beasts.

TARRAING É I NGAEILGE

Which is Irish for “Draw It In Irish“, and is our exhibition specifically for cartoons in that language – the only one of its kind in the world today!

Works selected for Tarraing é i nGaeilgewill be shown both in Galway City and on Inis Oírr in the Aran Islands.

All our exhibitions are open to submissions from anyone, anywhere.
