List Of Selected Cartoonists For Exhibition 10th Galway Cartoon Festival /Irleand 2026

These are the cartoonists whose work will be appearing in this year’s main open exhibition, “Having A Laugh”

Together they created 70 pieces, which were chosen from roughly 2,500 submissions to this year’s festival. So please don’t be discouraged if your work didn’t make the final cut. The competition was tough, and the result were, we think, excellent.

The exhibition launches on Friday October 2nd, in the Town Hall Theatre Galway, at 5.00 pm.
