Celebrating Illustoria, the brilliant magazine for creative kids
This event is over, it happened on
April 4, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
Illustoria Magazine is a high-quality print publication for creative kids & their grownups to slow down and enjoy stories, art, and activities; and as a counter to our fast-paced, digital age. Illustoria celebrates visual storytelling, makers, and DIY culture through print and beyond.
In 2019, Illustoria became a collaboration between McSweeney’s and the International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers, an informal network of organizations around the world who share the belief that young people need places where they can write and be heard and have their voices polished, published, and amplified. In every issue of Illustoria Magazine, students from these centers contribute their own writing and art and conduct interviews with the artists and others profiled in these pages.
We'll celebrate their latest issue and do some fun creative things with kids!
