NYCC 2026: Open to Interpretation Custom Show at Tenacious Booth

Under the bright lights and amidst the biggest crowds on the East Coast, there are a few very limited and highly coveted square feet inside glass cases. NYCC is a huge show with a quarter million sets of eyeballs that can view an artist's work... if they can place it there.

Most never get the opportunity. 

That's why Alex Rivera (Playful Gorilla) suggested an open-call custom toy show to Tenacious CEO Benny Kline. They pounced quickly, orchestrating the call out to artists through the Tenacious Instagram. Everything happened within 24 hours after that post: 30+ artists secured their spots in the show, and in the big Tenacious glass case at Booth 1771. The best possible spot for an emerging artist at NYCC!
