Leveraging the resources of St. Mark’s Comics® and Industry City, BICS provides an opportunity for artists to present their work to their Brooklyn neighbors, as well as the wider community, at an affordable cost.

  • Our First Year

    After a sold out BICS 2022, it was clear that we had found our community. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees, exhibitors, and Industry City made BICS an annual event!

  • Building a Larger Community

    With a successful year behind us, we looked to expand the number of artists and guests that we could accommodate. BICS 2023 more than doubled in scale.

  • An Industry Staple

    Now a must-attend show, BICS 2024 was more than four times the size of our first event, with over 200 tables, nearly 300 artists, and thousands of attendees!

  • Looking to the Future!

    Now a 2-day, indoor event, BICS accommodates additional tables, panels, and more! BICS 2026 will be held in Industry City’s largest venue, The Box Factory.
