What is the Katsucon Art Show? The Katsucon Art Show is a showcase for two dimensional and three-dimensional anime-oriented works by professional and amateur artists and is located within the Artist Alley. For attendees, it provides an opportunity to see the artwork up close. For artists, it provides an opportunity for self-promotion and sales of artwork through the Katsucon Art Auction.
Yes, most of the artwork on display will be for sale!
We have an on-going art auction that lasts the whole weekend where attendees can bid on artwork that is for sale, in hope of being the high bidder and taking the artwork home. Any piece of artwork with four bids at the time that the Art Show closes on Saturday will go to the “Live Auction” Saturday night following the Cosplay. Any piece with one, two, or three bids is sold to the high bidder at the bid price Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
For any and all questions about the Art Show, please contact the Art Show Director.
If you are an artist who will be placing artwork into the Art Show, you can get a head start on the paperwork. Just download the following forms (PDF format), fill them out, and bring them with you when you check your artwork in to the show:
For the Control Sheet, fill in your personal information and list all the artwork you are bringing for display. After that, fill out one Bid Sheet for each piece of art that you are bringing. All of this can be taken care of at the convention, so it’s completely up to you if you want to fill out these forms before you come or not.
Note: Don’t be easy with the Quick Sale price! The amount should be around what you’d really want to get for the artwork
