Totally Missed It: MoCCA Arts Festival Names 2016 Dates And Place

The MoCCA Arts Festival announced its 2016 dates and venue about ten days ago, it looks like. The dates are April 2-3. The expo will be at Metropolitan West. The panels/presentations will be at Ink48.

imageYou may recall that MoCCA had shifted from an reasonably unpopular old-school armory space and into the hip Center 548 for 2015, only to find that property was going to be developed for residential. This seems in the same vein, and I think it's a smart one for that particular show -- it provides a strong break from the more idiosyncratic Brooklyn spaces and convention centers that host the other NYC shows.

There's a bunch of information in that first link about exhibitor applications, too.

As a great fan of New York City, and the kind of energy that city provides comics, I want as many worthy shows there as possible and hope to attend the 2016 version of MoCCA. Hopefully there will be no conflict with SPACE; Emerald City is the next weekend, but there's very little overlap with art comics east of the Mississippi on that one. In an ideal world, I could do all three, yet I understand all three shows' desire to make use of prime calendar real estate like that.
