People in Puppetry: Join the Global Gallery!
Add your name, share your magic, and help map the world of puppetry — plus a chance to win a 2026 Festival Artist Button!
The Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival has just launched something magical for our community, People in Puppetry: A Global Gallery!
Imagine a living, growing map of puppeteers, designers, builders, curators, teaching artists, directors, filmmakers, everyone who makes puppet theatre possible. Now imagine your face in it. Yup, this is your moment.

Add yourself. Share it. Tell your puppet friends in every corner of the globe. Let’s make this gallery overflow with creativity.
Bonus Perk for Joining In
Once you’ve added yourself, you’ll get an invite to take a short, anonymous Survey of Puppeteers — helping the Festival learn how to support artists like you even better.
And… as a thank-you, you could win a 2026 Festival Artist Button — your golden ticket to free entry (pending available seats) at any show in the 2026 Festival.
P.S. You don’t have to be in the gallery to take the survey — but why wouldn’t you want to?
