9th Galway Cartoon Festival/Ireland2025

Announcing the opening of submissions to the 9th Galway Cartoon Festival!

It seems a long way off right now, with Galway’s summer rain still splashing happily on our heads, but by the time the Festival comes it will be autumn, the great seasonal change we have celebrated since ancient times as Samhain, or Hallowe’en.

So this time we explore the mysterious, the seasonal and supernatural, the liminal and grotesque. Witches, monsters, mythologies. Life and death itself.

The title of this exhibition?

DANSE MACABRE

While we are still open to all kinds of cartoons, work that fits with this theme will have a better chance of being chosen.
