Named after Merle “Ting” Tingley, London Free Press’ editorial cartoonist from 1948 to 1986, Tingfest is an annual celebration curated by TAP Centre for Creativity that showcases the work of past, present and future comic and graphic artists from Southwestern Ontario.

While this festival is an homage to Ting’s work and influence on generations of artists, Tingfest is a rare forum for emerging and established artists to present their work to the public through a gallery show that is complemented with free events and programs.

​

Every year we have a new roster of both emerging and established artists who display their work in our gallery at TAP Centre for Creativity. From artist talks to workshops, film screenings, book signings, and more, we enjoy creating a schedule of programs and events that highlight the unique group of talented artists we’re featuring each year.
