Earlier this month, the MoCCA Festival took place at the 69th Regiment Armory in NYC. I was introduced to the event by my girlfriend, who was exhibiting a selection of her incredible work at the show. Although I’ve visited the museum a few times, I was really unaware of what the MoCCA Festival is all about. When I stepped into the cavernous chamber of the Armory, it became clear.

The festival is a fantastically diverse showcase of art, storytelling, and imagination. When walking down the aisles it’s as though roaming through a landscape of dreams and nightmares rendered with ink on paper for posterity. From the blithe, to the surreal, to the sagacious, and twisted, the work on display delivers a mesmerizing experience. There’s nothing like being surrounded by such a mengagerie of imagery and ideas to spark one’s own creativity.

Check out the MoCCA site if you’re interested in visiting the museum or learning about the festival and the numerous other events they host.

For deeper coverage on this year’s event, Publisher’s Weekly has a nice write-up.
