The Great IP Takeover!!

charc+r is a new fest celebrating original character IPs and the independent creators behind them. 

It’s a space for illustrators, designers, animators, and fans to meet, share, and 

celebrate original character IP—through a curated market and talks.

This year, we’re celebrating original indie character IPs that take up space—visually, culturally, and creatively. 

Whether they stomp, shimmer, or shapeshift, these creations demand attention.
Come see how creators unleash their IPs, supersize their characters, and turn everyday charm into full-blown takeovers.
