The Anime Expo® Art Show is a tradition running back well over ten years. The Art Show provides artists a place where their works can be displayed and even sold–unlike the Artist’s Alley, the Art Show is where artists can place their more intricate works. Large pieces, small pieces–’two-d’ and ‘three-d’ art are all welcome at the Art Show.
The Art Show also encompasses the Modeling Contest, a popular contest where models–handmade, painted, and arranged–can be entered to win prizes and acclaim.

Hey everyone sorry for the late posting but things have been hectic over here. Well we’re back online again and ready to take your questions so if you’ve got them just fire away in the forums. One thing we’ve been hearing a lot are questions about our new home; we are located in the L.A. convention center and while some may not like it we assure you that all will be well. The facilities there are amazing and we are definitely looking forward to working with everyone to make this year’s 2008 Expo the best one yet!
