Artists Alley
The Artists Alley is a location for AnthrOhio Attendees to meet community Artists and commission their skills and services. Artists are able to exhibit Artistic Works for Attendees to examine at the Artist’s Table Space.
Artistic Works exhibited may include Not Safe For Work (NSFW) art that is censored and in a folder or binder marked that it is Adults Only or 18+. Each day will have different Artists available.
Application Process
Prospective Artists will be able to apply for the Table Space in Artists Alley Lottery, ONLY online and in advance of the convention.
After the Table Space Lottery is pulled, the Application will reopen for Waitlist and will remain open through the convention.
A link to the Application will be available on the AnthrOhio website and from the AnthrOhio social media sources. Applications will be put into a weighted lottery to provide the highest chance for more artists to have an opportunity to receive Table Space.
AnthrOhio will first fill Friday, then Saturday, and finally Sunday, with a waitlist for the weekend, should an Artist have to drop out or not show.
AnthrOhio will contact Artists via Telegram and create a Group for the Waitlist so Table Space opportunities can be open offered and claimed quickly.
Artists’ Alley spaces are $25/day.
