Arts for Games Fest
On 8 and 9 August 2026, CarinthiArt, in collaboration with the Media and Communication Student Council, is organising a mini convention focusing on illustration, animation and design for games of all kinds.
There will be workshops and talks led by artists, game developers and enthusiasts, exploring design, game mechanics and illustration techniques. In the workshops, participants will be guided in designing specific elements of a game or design assets themselves, giving free rein to their imagination and exploring game mechanics in a playful way.
We will be having food, drinks and a tombola with great prizes from our sponsors (see below)!
Entry is free and you are welcome to drop by at any point!
