• Commercial (licensed) items are not allowed, nor are direct reproductions of work that is not the artist’s own. The Artist Alley provides 10×10 ft booths with a table and 2 chairs. Due to safety issues, there may only be four persons behind a full table at any given time.
• The Artist Alley is all about the promotion of creative works! Prints, independently-produced comics/doujinshi, commissioned drawings, and independently-produced small merchandise (key chains, pins, stickers, etc.) are all permissible. Charging for services outside these realms will not be allowed.
• Large merchandise (apparel, plushies, pillows, etc.) may only make up 25% or less of all products sold. Failure to follow policies may cause removal from the Artist Alley without refund. Artists with more than 25% of large merchandise may purchase an Exhibitor Booth instead subject to those terms & conditions.
• Anime Matsuri has a No Refund policy for tables if the artist does not check-in by the required deadline.
• Sharing and splitting of tables is strictly prohibited. Only a maximum of two (2) tables may be purchased per company/artist.
• Artists are not obligated to remain at their tables for the duration at the convention, but it is strongly suggested that artists not leave any belongings unsupervised. Anime Matsuri and convention staff are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. Creative displays are allowed, but may not take up space in the walkway or infringe another artist’s space. It is suggested that displays be easy to collapse and transport.
• Adult-themed art is permissible in the Artist Alley, but must not be directly visible to passers-by. Artists may display a sign that advertises an adult-themed portfolio, but may not show or sell adult material to anyone below 18 years of age. Artists are expected to act according to the Con Rules that apply to all Anime Matsuri attendees. Please treat fellow artists with consideration and respect.
• Due to the increasing size of the Artist Alley and Convention, we will not provide electricity to the Artist Alley. Anyone requiring power can get it directly from the convention center, at check-in.
• For any questions, please email the Artist Alley Director at [email protected]. For More information please visit www.animematsuri.com
