Also known as an ‘Artist’s Alley’ the Art Market at the show is for independent artists, authors, and crafters to display and sell their creations. This a great place to find some fan art or commission a drawing from an artist, find a unique cosplay item, or discover an indie manga or web comic!

There will be a free breakfast in the Hospitality Suite Friday morning during set up for vendors and exhibitors!

Tables will be lined up along the walls in the hallway of the main event areas of the hotel for vendors and exhibitors to display their wares.
