2015 Artist Alley Applications are now open!

Artists and creators of original content are an important part of the fan convention experience and each year we’ve celebrated this fact by offering discounted space for local talent to sell their commissions, prints, and other handcrafted goods.
Each Artist Alley space comes with:
One (1) six foot table in the Artist Alley area
Two (2) chairs
One (1) weekend pass to the convention labeled “Artist”
PLEASE NOTE that our Artist Alley is juried. This means that we review all applications and a committees from the event operations staff chooses the artists who will be approved. WasabiCon does this in order to make sure a variety of art styles are made available to the attendees – thus avoiding creators all selling the same style/presentation. This also helps artists by making sure they artwork is presented as a unique part of the event!
Each space is $100 (plus Eventbrite fees). There is a limit of one (1) table per artist. This is due to floorplan logistics and to be fair to other artists.
Up to two (2) additional Artist Alley badges may be purchased (per space) at $25 each.
Power and Internet access are available. Please see Section V of the Artist Alley Application.
Artist Alley spaces are $100 each this year and must be purchased before OCTOBER 24, 2015.
Please read and fill out this entire document and please (PLEASE!) print clearly. You should note that your application is not considered complete until after your space is paid for in full. No exceptions!
If you have questions about anything on this form, please call us at (407) 536-9272 or you can email [email protected].
