It was located at 594 Broadway and offered exhibits, education programs, and an annual small-press comic convention known as MoCCA Fest, first held in 2002. In 2012, MoCCA closed its doors and transferred its collection to the Society of Illustrators (SI) upon condition that a gallery be created in their museum to showcase comic/cartoon art and the MoCCA Fest would continue. Since 2013, the two-day yearly SI MoCCA Arts Fest has grown to be the largest independent comic and cartoon art festival in NYC, attracting over 8,000 attendees and over 400 exhibitors.About the Society of IllustratorsFounded in 1901, the Society of Illustrators (SI) is the oldest nonprofit dedicated to the art of illustration in America. Our mission is to promote the art and appreciation of illustration and its history and evolving nature through exhibits and programs. We established our Museum of Illustration in 1981 and it is open to the public Wednesdays-Saturdays year-round, along with access to our Permanent Collection of 3,500 pieces. Notable SI members have been N.C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell. In 2012, we acquired the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Collection, instituted a dedicated SI MoCCA Gallery, and began hosting the SI MoCCA Arts Fest in 2013. Through our various programs, we serve 30,000 annually.Photo credit: Andres Otero Photography https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/153c10d0-f149-11f0-bf45-c17c2445384b-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd9d2d6-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/mocca-fest-2026/100001977618577401 - **Event Categories**: festivals, art, business, anime - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 40.25, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Metropolitan Pavilion - **lat**: 40.7404282 - **long**: -73.9960263 - **full address**: Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: MoCCA Fest 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/31b0308a4741af6ba06a5205dfe08b66b24f0603f20acdd6dbec710ce381ec6e-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfaae25-gmir.jpg?v=1768395667 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is MoCCA Fest 2026 being held? - **A:** MoCCA Fest 2026 takes place on Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for MoCCA Fest 2026? - **A:** Ticket prices for MoCCA Fest 2026 range from USD 23 to USD 40 depending on the ticket type.
