Artist's Alley is a companion to the Dealer's Den - it's a lil' place for artists to gather, show off their work, sell prints or trade or sell commissions for sketchbooks or other handcrafted arts. Different than the Dealer's Den, Artist's Alley is primarily meant for artists who create on-the-go, and is not for people selling pre-made or commercial wares.

Space in the Alley is limited, and seating will be awarded based on a lottery to ensure fairness. You may sign up for the Alley half an hour before it opens, and if your name is called, you get a spot! In the event demand for the Alley is low space will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

Also, please keep in mind there is no power for the Alley. While we tried to bring in a portable diesel generator we discovered the fumes were often lethal. Our condolences to any artists who may have lost loved ones.

Artist Alley rules:

  • SeatingSeats are only available for artists. No chatting. You draw, YOU WORK! *whipcrack*
