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.

Well we’re back online again and ready to take your questions so if you’ve got them just fire away in the forums and through our email at artshow@anime-expo.org. Once again we will be at L.A. convention center this year. Last years auction was one of the best turn outs we’ve had in the past few years and we’re looking to make it even better this year. For those who would like to give us some input on how we did and what changes you might like to see please email us! More information for the modeling contest and the Gallery of the Fantastic Art’s will be forthcoming this month.
