We are ready to receive cartoons for the 2019 Galway Cartoon Festival. See here for all the details.

A new date for our table quiz – now with many fabulous prizes!

Monday 29 July, Black Gate, 8:00pm

Bring all of your friends, it’s only €40 per table and the prizes will be exceptional. We have so many in fact that we’ll be raffling some as well, so you don’t even have to be clever to walk off with loot. Many thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.

The quiz will be almost entirely on general knowledge, though there will be one cartoon round. So start reading comics if you want that edge…

And of course there’s a bar, many fab wines, lovely food, and that Cartoon Festival atmosphere!

8th — 18th November 2019

This year we bring you cartoons from around the world on the theme of science!

And also, a lot of other cartoons.

Our guests of honour, Nol (France) and Marilena Nardi (Italy), have done us the favour of putting up a sweet photo album of their visit to Galway:

Huge thanks to everyone who made our first ever cartoon auction a big success last night, especially sponsors the Liquor Lounge (upstairs at the Dáil Bar) and the Latin Quarter, and of course all the cartoonists. In particular we want to thank Tom Mathews and Gerard Crowley who donated original works to the cause.

Special thanks too to Brendan Savage who did a simply brilliant job as MC, and of course to everyone who came – especially those of you who bought cartoons.

If you weren’t there… Well, you should have been. We sold 30 pieces (23 prints and 7 original drawings), mostly at bargain prices.

It was a huge boost for us, raising enough to make some of our ideas feasible, so look out for news about the 2019 festival soon!

Join us in the Liquor Lounge (upstairs in the Dáíl Bar on Middle Street) at 8:00pm on Tuesday April 9th for a splendid auction of cartoon originals and prints. MC and auctioneer for the evening will be Brendan Savage, there will be a raffle, booze and general fun, and all proceeds go to putting on the next festival!

Some fabulous news. We’re going to auction off cartoons that weren’t sold at exhibition last year. The proceeds will go towards this year’s festival.

The event takes place at 8:00 pm on Tuesday the 9th of April in the Liquor Lounge, upstairs in the Dáil Bar – the venue where we held our hugely enjoyable brochure launch last year. You’ll be able to bid on a range of framed prints by some of the greatest cartoonists, in Ireland and from around the world.

MC and auctioneer will be Brendan Savage. Prices starts as low as €20, and there will be a raffle.
