Attention Fan artists, artisans, makers, crafters, and art lovers: the CoastCon 47 Art Show, Auction & Sale WANTS to See and SELL your work. CoastCon’s Art show is one of the great visitor destinations at our event and is the place to view and/or purchase original and print artwork of all formats throughout the weekend. The show features three-dimensional and two-dimensional art in a variety of media within the themes of science fiction, fantasy, anime/manga, gaming, and/or comics and has been an important part of our show and the Fan artist community in the Gulf South for over forty-five years. We expect CoastCon 47 will once again be a showcase for local/regional/national artists of all kinds to submit art for our art show, auction, and sale. Interested artists, crafters, and makers (and we hope that you are)- you will find the rules, registration form, bidding sheets, and control sheets for the show/auction/print shop linked below in both PDF and Word/Excel formats. Please print and fill out these sheets as completely as possible and then send those completed forms to the address listed in the art show packet/on the art show rules sheet- either with your art or in advance of it. Our forms are available for your use and copying as needed. We recommend all registration forms and payments be sent by February 28, 2025 [via mail or email] to reserve your spot.
Keep in mind if you are sending art by mail- we must receive mail-in art before February 28, 2025. You may also deliver your work to the convention in person on Friday, March 7, between 9:00 am and 1 p.m. Please contact us via mail or email before the February 28 deadline if you choose to hand-deliver your work. While we encourage you to join us at CoastCon, you do not have to attend the convention to show/sell your work in our art show. Space is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact us via the CoastCon Art Show email if you have any questions – artshow@coastcon.org.
