About this event
We are happy to announce the opening of the 2021 Katsucon Artist Alley (KAA) Application on August 1st 2020. The application will remain open until August 15th 2020.
There will be social distancing protocols in place that will help ensure the safety of artists, staff, volunteers, and our attendees.
The three major differences for 2021 KAA will be the floor-plan and type of tables available.
We will be a combined room with the merchant hall. The air-wall will be open.
Table layout requirements means that we will have less tables. We are going from 182 unique artists to approximately 130 single table spaces.
We will only have single table spots available for chosen artists. Premium corner table spots will not be available.
Please note that if safety conditions change, for the better or worse, we will adjust, accordingly, with as much notice as possible.
Interested in becoming an Artist for the Katsucon 2021 Artist Alley? Fantastic!
All art enthusiasts and creators representing any art styles, mediums, and techniques are encouraged to apply!
There are a few easy steps to complete the Artist Alley table application process:
- Read and understand the Katsucon Artist Info Packet.
- Complete and submit the Katsucon 2021 Artist Alley Application for the jury process. (Link will be posted when available)
- After acceptance, you will be emailed a link to submit payment through Eventbrite.
- Congrats! You’re in and we will provide your table assignment and further communications via email
Please understand that there is a high volume of interest in the Artist Alley and we have limited exhibition space. Because of the overwhelming demand, we unfortunately cannot offer a table to every artist who applies for the Artists Alley. If you are not accepted, you will be waitlisted and still have a chance for a table. Please understand that all artists are respected and appreciated and we encourage all artists to apply every year!
Our jury process allows us to curate an Artist Alley that has a selection that is varied, meaningful, inspiring, and exciting for attendees while also being balanced and profitable for the artists.
Our goal this year is to provide the artists with a positive, enriching, and supportive environment that is inclusive of all people and their unique abilities, strengths and differences, and skills. We understand the urgency when it comes to the artist’s scheduling and will make every effort to move the process along with more communication from our Artist Alley staff, so please be prepared. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Keep an eye on social media for Artist Alley Application dates, new information, and updates.
The Eventbrite link is for the application, it is not acceptance in the KAA. Payment is not due until you are accepted.
Please keep in mind that we jury our Artist Alley, so you can take your time filling out the information to make sure it’s correct and complete.
