Artists / Art Show
Show Your Work at Archon
The Archon Art Show is a vibrant part of the convention where artists and fans come together to celebrate creativity, imagination, and fandom. Whether you are an established artist or exhibiting for the first time, we would love to have you take part.
Each year, the Art Show features a wide variety of original artwork, prints, and crafts seen by thousands of attendees over the course of the weekend. It is a great opportunity to share your work, connect with fans, and become part of the Archon experience.
How Participation Works
Artists may participate in several ways. Panels and tables are available for $20 each, and space is also available in the Print Shop. Reservations and payment should be completed in advance when registering.
Mail-in participation is welcome, and you do not need to attend the convention in person in order to exhibit work. Payment is not accepted at the convention unless prior arrangements have been made.
Artwork in the show uses a two-price system: a minimum bid and a direct sale price. Once a piece receives two bids, it moves to the general auction.
The convention retains a 10% commission on sales, and artists typically receive payment within approximately four weeks after the close of the convention.
