AUTOPTIC is a comics and graphics festival, picking up where MIX (Minneapolis Indie Expo) left off, and then taking a giant step forward into the bigger, messier world of independent culture at large. Along with comics and zines, AUTOPTIC will showcase poster artists, printmakers, musicians, alternative & small labels, illustrators, and designers. AUTOPTIC is a juried, expo-style show, featuring exhibitors ranging in size and recognition from a local to international scale.

This year, AUTOPTIC’s  expo space at Aria allowed for a greater number of exhibitors, partnering with a local venue for a satellite music event that coincided with the expo (featuring at least one national headlining act), doubling down with its international partners (the French based ChiFouMi) for on-site zine and comics workshops, creating a dedicated kid’s area, hosting an art show, and much more.
