ILLO Mart 2026

We are soooooo excited to announce the return ILLO MART: a celebration of all things illustration and the amazing illustrators of our creative community. As fans of the many illustration fairs around the world, it has been our dream to do one of our own some day, and last year, we were able to finally make this dream a reality. So happy to be bringing it back this year! Happening September 26-27 at South Hall in downtown San José, ILLO MART will bring together 250+ of our favorite illustrators all in one place as well as a lineup of exciting illustration and drawing workshops, talks and programming!

Located indoors at downtown San José's South Hall at 435 South Market Street, San José, CA 95110. Open from 11 am to 6 pm. Free admission for attendees. Service animals only.
