Art Gallery: The Art Gallery has many types of space available to display your artwork. We use a standard 4-ft. x 4-ft. pegboard for hanging space and have many combinations of Art Gallery space listed on the Art Show application form. We have 6 ft. x 30" tables available, as well as floor space (also 6 ft. x 30"). There is a 10% commission charged on all artwork sold in the Art Gallery.
Print Shop: The Art Show has a large area to display prints called the Print Shop. There is a 15% commission charged on all artwork sold in the Print Shop.
Artists' Bazaar Tables: These tables, located in the main Art Show room, are available for attending artists who wish more art than what they have on display in the Gallery or Print Shop. All items sold on these tables are either made by the artist or from the artist's designs. The Artists' Bazaar is a special area for artists to present merchandise related to their art. Bazaar pieces range from the unusual to the exotic. Membership is not included with the bazaar table.
Art on Demand Department: This can include artwork ranging from that created completely on computer to scans of originals. This department will display all of these art entries on full color prints. These prints will enable attendees to preview this art and make selections to purchase prints via our printing service. Artists will be able to upload their entered artwork to our own FTP site.
If an attendee wants to purchase a print of one of the images, they can have it printed "On Demand" by our professional printer and choose not only the final image size, but also the medium on which it is printed, including canvas (either loose or stretch frame-mounted), Glossy, Matte, Watercolor Paper, or Metallic papers. All of the art purchased in this department is shipped to the customer after the show.
Each artist enrolled in this department will have the option of an add-on service in which one of their Art Show entries will be printed at the 22" x 28" print size on glossy, metallic, or watercolor paper and displayed in addition to the sample prints of their entries. These larger samples are an excellent way to show customers how good these works look when printed. For an additional cost, you can have this print shipped to you after the close of the convention.
In our continuing effort to expand our services to artists, we are extending the Art on Demand department to the web. The Dragon*Con Art Show - Art on Demand department will allow attendees to purchase art on demand products throughout the year. This service dramatically extends the value of the Art on Demand department and provides an extremely cost effective way for artists to gain international exposure while allowing them to sell more art.
Mail-In Art:
We accept mail-in artwork on a case-by-case basis only. Please see the rules for all the details.
Discussions And Demonstrations:
An excellent way to promote yourself is to share some of your experience in one of our Art Panels. If you are interested in doing a demonstration, to be included on programming or panel discussions, do a slide show, or just have some great ideas for Art Show programming, let us know by July 1. The sooner we know your talents or ideas, the more likely they are to be included. Although we have access to many types of equipment to show artwork, do not assume that your desired equipment will be readily available. We will make every effort possible to supply all equipment needs, so coordinate any equipment requests or other needs with Art Show Directors.
To reserve your space,
We hope you will decide to join us for the excitement at Dragon*Con 2008. The 2008 Art Show is shaping up to be the most exciting show yet, and one you really don't want to miss!
Awards
The Art Show jury determines most of our awards but convention attendees will vote on a portion of the art awards called the Special Awards. Award categories will include but are not limited to Best In Show, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, 2-D, 3-D, Photography and Mixed Media. There are also 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards for student entrees.
