That's a wrap on Monochrome Vol. 3!
Huge thanks to crews at The Cube and Exchange for all the hard work; to all the artists who came down and got weird; and to all of you that bought tickets or helped spread the good word.
And yes - Monochrome will be back for 2027.
To take you on a little journey up the wizard's sleave - Monochrome has never quite broken even. After 3 years, I'd hoped it would be paying for itself, but it remains a pretty expensive hobby. These are uncertain times, and it's starting to feel like a slightly reckless endeavour.
The bottom line is, Monochrome has to cover it's costs next year if it's going to continue. This isn't an unattainable goal; 20% more people through the door and we're golden.
So 2027 is "break even or go broke trying". I'll be throwing everything at it, so if it ends up being the last Monochrome, at least we'll go out with a bang!
And for the keenos, I've stuck some insanely early bird tickets on sale at Headfirst for anyone that wants to nab a bargin.
