Short Run Seattle

Short Run focuses on the medium of comics as a coalescence of art and literature. We believe in the intimate experience of holding a book in your hands. Thats why we highlight artists from the Pacific Northwest and around the world who make alternative comix and self-published, small press, and handmade books of all kinds. We want to ensure that Seattle is considered a destination for small press artists, and a percolator of comics genius.

We want to ensure that Seattle is considered a destination for small press artists, and a percolator of comics genius. We achieve this vision by: Organizing events for Seattleites including our annual Short Run Comix Festival, which showcases both emerging and established artists, creating a space for discovery, inspiration, and above all, quality work. Creating opportunities for artists to foster friendships and mentorships, grow their audience, dedicate time to making new work, fund projects, publish work, and make money as an artist.
