The Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE) is now accepting applications for artists to exhibit on Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2023.If you’re a comic creator, we want you to apply now–hop on over and review our application guidelines and apply!
Applications close at 11:59pm on April 10th!
A couple things to keep in mind:
We’ll ask for a link to an online portfolio or shared file with samples of your comics – we can’t consider you without them! More is better, so please send us your full comic to review rather than an excerpt. If you are working on something new, send us pencils or even thumbnails.
Please make sure your portfolio contains specific and clear examples of your comics work. In fact, a submitted PDF of your comics work is preferred.
Also, we are interested in providing our attendees with a healthy mix of local talent, first-time exhibitors, exhibitors working in print comics, and with new work. Our goal is to maximize the diversity of our exhibitor roster in several senses of the word: diversity of genre, of styles, and of voices.
Additionally, as the Boston area’s major independent comics show, we strive as much as possible to give a platform for local and regional creators. Using these criteria, the show will be fully curated by our jury. We appreciate your understanding that while interest in MICE grows, our available space remains limited.
