PICTO
CPH
Contemporary character Design & Art conference
Early bird tickets will be released on the 5th of February 2027 at noon CET
PICTOPLASMA x CPH is an electrifying festival and conference at the crossroads of contemporary art, design, illustration, and animation. It’s a celebration of visual storytelling, where imagination takes centre stage, and characters come to life!
PICTOPLASMA x CPH aims to create a hub for Scandinavian artists, designers, and animators to showcase their work, share ideas and build a community around their passion. More than an event, it’s a playground for creativity. From illustration to animation, game design to interactive experiences, and urban to graphic arts, we encourage interdisciplinary conversations to push the boundaries and shape the future of character-driven storytelling.
Join us on Saturday the 5th of June for an amazing day of talks, exhibitions and workshops!
PICTOPLASMA x CPH is organised with the support of PICTOPLASMA Berlin.
