Open Call: Grafixx zine fest 2024
In 2024, our yearly festival on illustration, drawing and comics takes place November 22-23-24. Grafixx once again invites artists from all over the world to share their work through live performances, lectures, exhibitions, hands-on workshops, screenings and a signature zine fest, where independent artists, collectives and publishers present their publications. Next to a curated selection of tables, Grafixx also calls on artists to mail over their work for the communal table, managed by our staff. Grafixx does not charge any commission for sales, participation is free, and all proceeds go entirely to the participant.
Do you think your publications would be a good fit to send in to our festival?
