Art Show

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.

Update:
We’re back and ready to go for Art Show 2010! If you’ve have questions just fire away in the forums and through our email at . Don't hesitate to e-mail or ask on the forums.  Once again we will be at L.A. Convention Center this year.
