2010 Artists Alley

SOLD OUT!

MechaCon's Artist Alley is a place where artists, modelers, and small publishers can have the opportunity to display and/or solicit their works to our attendees. Artists can also use this area to take commissions and create new works. Some Artist Alley participants may choose to use their space to advertise their services or promote their clubs. Open to all artists, from beginners to professionals and studios, artists can use this opportunity to get their art out to the public and to meet fans of their works.
Artist Alley tables are now only available as a registration package which includes one table and one registration (equivalent to BasicPass). The cost for an Artist Alley Registration is $60 ($30 for the table, $30 for the badge). An additional Artist Alley badge (for an assistant to help at your table) may be purchased with your table registration for an extra $30. Limited to one additional badge per Artist Alley table registration. Artist Alley participants may attend the MechaCon 2010 Formal/semi-formal dinner and opening ceremonies, for an additional $50 per person, if they choose to add it to their registrations. Tables are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. If all available tables are filled, a waiting list will be established for other interested registrants. Persons on the waiting list are not guaranteed a table.

Please note: T-shirts must be purchased separately.

RULES:

1. Set-up for Artist Alley begins at 12:00pm and opens to the public at 1:00pm on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, set-up for Artist Alley begins 9:00am and is open to the public at 10:00am.
   
   
2. No Commercially available merchandise is to be sold in the Artists Alley. This is what the Dealers' Room is for. Where the Dealers' Room is all about commerce, The Artists Alley is all about creativity and originality.
   
   
3. We encourage the sale of any products featuring your own creations, commissioned and hand-drawn works, unique hand-made items, fanzines, and similar items.
   
   
4. All convention, local, state, and federal rules will apply while in the Artists Alley. If you break any of the convention rules you will be dealt with in an appropriate manner. If you break any laws expect to have to deal with law enforcement and possible prosecution. We will not protect you if you break the law.
   
   
5. Overly loud music, videos, etc. will NOT be tolerated in the Artists Alley. If the amount of sound that you, your table, or anything related to you or your table is found to be disruptive, you will be given your first and only warning and you will be made to turn the volume down.
   
   
6. If you want to have a raffle or giveaway, please inform the Artists Alley Liaison ahead of time so that we can assist with any possible line forming or crowding issues. Crowding becomes a problem when it begins to block the thoroughfares between tables becoming a fire hazard. Therefore please get your raffle/giveaway taken care of as quickly as possible.
   
   
7. NO SIGNS, art, or anything else are allowed to be attached to the walls at the Marriott. You may tape or otherwise attach things to the front of your table, as long as no hotel or convention property is damaged.
   
   
8. Food, snacks, and/or beverages are NOT to be sold in the Artists Alley.
   
   
9. Merchandise bearing official character likenesses are not allowed. These would be directly competing with licensed merchandise and would definitely break copyright laws. Clothing and accessories are usually licensed. (However, if you're using characters you already own, or have explicit permission to use, you're fine.)
   
   
10. NO HENTAI or any other sexually explicit material of any kind will be allowed in the Artists Alley.
