Is there a check-in/sign up time?

We ask that everyone check in with the Artist Alley Check-In desk by 11am on the day of their reservation. Failure to check in or communicate with the AA coordinator can result in the loss of your reservation/spot.

What if I miss the 11 am deadline for my reserved spot?

If you do not arrive by 11 am on the day of your reservation, it will be forfeit and sold to another vendor. If you are running late, please contact the Vendor Coordinator prior to 11am that day to let them know.

I didn’t reserve my spot, will there still be tables available at the con?

We cannot guarantee that Artist Alley tables will be available for purchase at con, though we do try to keep a few available for “first come, first served” on the day of, we can’t make any promises. Priority will be given to waitlisted applicants. If any tables are available after the waitlist is exhausted, they will be made available.

What if I want to leave?

Leaving? Not a problem! Just make sure you inform the Artist Alley check-in table that you’re leaving.

Closing up? Let us know at the check-in table that you are not returning. This lets us fill in that spot with the next person on our wait list.

Taking a break? Let us know this too. So that we do not mistake your table as a spot to give away. We can also inform people that you are away, and will be returning later.

Please ensure you make arrangements for the supervision of your table during any breaks. You are responsible for the safety and security of your own merchandise, property, and personal belongings in the Artists Alley.

Is electricity and/or Wi-Fi available?

We are unable to guarantee electricity or wifi will be available at Artist Alley Tables. If you are near an outlet, you may make use of it, but power bars are not permitted. If you are found to be using a power bar you will be asked to remove it.

Can I put signs on the walls/tables?

If you wish to add signs, please ask the Artist Alley Check-In desk for the proper tape, and assistance. We are guests, and do not wish to destroy hotel property.

Signs and displays on top of tables must not exceed 24” or 61cm in height, and must not extend beyond the edge of the table. Signs may be attached to the front of tables as long as they do not touch the ground. Please speak to the Check-In desk for the proper tape.

If you are unsure about any signs or displays you want to use, ask the Artist Alley team, and they can help you. 

What can I sell in Artist Alley?

Vendors must sell only items which they are legally entitled to sell. Please be aware that if you have pirated, or materials that infringe copyright in an illegal manner we will require you to remove the items from your table. Failure to do so will result in being removed from the Alley. It must be your Artwork, handmade items, and merchandise with your artwork/creations on them. 

You cannot resell merchandise, or products you had no part in making. We require that vendors have items they created to sell, not just for advertising a product that does not exist yet or for demos (such as video games in development, or games in development, future kickstarters, etc). If you want to just advertise, or demo something, please contact us about alternatives.

Any form of AI art is also prohibited. 3D printing vendors must be selling their original 3D creations or legally licensed materials. Documentation of licenses may be required.

We have some firm rules regarding Sexual and Violent imagery in our Artist Alley for 2025. (Adult material refers to anything of a violent or sexual nature)

• Any material (art, sculpture, and literature) containing extremely violent and/or sexually explicit depictions must not be accessible to minors.
• Adult material must be kept in closed binders/folders/bins that are clearly marked as adult. (Adult material in binders must have explicit portions censored.)
• Adult art in progress must be as concealed as much as possible from public view
• Vendors are required to ask for Government Issued ID from anyone who looks under the age of 25, before viewing or purchasing adult art.
• For Adult Sculpture, we recommend a binder of photographs to showcase and simultaneously censor explicit portions. Examples are available on request.

Please Note: Unfortunately, we are no longer allowing the sale of Food Items in Dealer’s Den OR Artist Alley to be in compliance with Hotel/Catering agreements and policy.

Vendors found in non-compliance with these rules will first be asked to rectify the problem. If on follow-up the problem persists, the vendor will be ejected from the Artist Alley.

Is there anything else I should know?

There will be no refunds, or transfers for paid tables.

I have more questions, how do I contact the Artist Alley team?
