The MoCCA Arts Festival, or MoCCA Fest, is an independent comics showcase that typically includes artist booths, slide shows, and educational panels. It was created by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in 2002 by bringing together over 2,000 artists, publishers, editors and enthusiasts. It was named "Best Small-Press Comics Nexus Anywhere" by ''The Village Voice''.〔(The Village Voice Best Of Awards: Best Small-Press Comics Nexus (Anywhere!) - 2002 ), ''The Village Voice''〕 Beginning in 2013, the MoCCA Fest is being produced by the Society of Illustrators, following their acquisition of the Museum the previous year. ==History== The MoCCA Festival was held at New York’s historic Puck Building from 2002–2008. The MoCCA Festival hosted the comics industry's 2004 and 2005 Harvey Awards.〔(HarveyAwards.org: "Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Announces 2004 Harveys Nominees" )〕〔Press release (May 13, 2005): ("18th Annual Harvey Awards Winners to Be Announced in June 11 Ceremony in NYC," ) MoCCA official website.〕 From 2009 to 2014, MoCCA Fest took place at the 69th Regiment Armory. The Society of Illustrators took over management of MoCCA Fest beginning with the 2013 show. In 2015, the event was split between two locations, with the exhibitors in Center548, and the programming at the High Line Hotel.〔〔 Plans to convert Center548 to a residential property forced the Society to find new venues, and in 2016 Metropolitan West will host the exhibitors, and programming will take place at Ink48. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MoCCA Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
