The Galway Cartoon Festival is an international celebration of funny drawings, hosted in Ireland’s most sociable city. Galway is a place obsessed with art and culture, with festivals for everything from literature to furniture. But noticeable by its absence was the ‘ninth art’ – comics, caricature, and cartoons. In 2017, we decided to change that.
