In 2017, Galway had its first international cartoon festival. In 2018 we’re expanding greatly, to bring you a big selection of exhibitions, workshops and many other entertaining cartoon-related events.

This year we focus on 11/11 – one hundred years to the day since the “Great War” of 1914-18 came to an end.
