For attendees

Meet the people who make it

Artist Alley is where you discover original artwork, independent comics, prints, and creative work — and meet the artists, writers, and makers behind it. Browse sketchbooks, pick up a new series, ask about commissions, and leave with something nobody else in the hall has.

For artists & creators

Put your work in front of fans

Show your work to comic fans, toy collectors, cosplayers, and pop-culture fans across two convention days. Sell originals, prints, and books, take commissions, meet readers face to face, and build awareness for what you make.

Booth information

Artist Alley Booth

There's one standardized Artist Alley booth. There are no separate wall, corner, or premium Artist Alley prices.

Displayed pricing does not guarantee approval, availability, or eligibility to purchase a particular booth type.

How can I arrange my table?

You may arrange your included table within your assigned 8′ × 6′ booth footprint. A few examples:

6′ table Back drape · 8′ wide Aisle (front) 6′ deep

Centered at the front

The classic setup facing the aisle.

6′ table ≈2′ Back drape · 8′ wide Aisle (front) 6′ deep

Slid to one side

Leaves roughly 2 feet of entry/exit space on the other side.

6′ table Back drape · 8′ wide Aisle (front) 6′ deep

Against the rear drape

Opens up the front of your booth.

These are examples, not required configurations. All tables, displays, and merchandise must stay within your assigned booth boundaries and comply with venue safety and accessibility requirements.
