Failure to abide by any and all rules will result in
removal from Artist Alley, and possibly the convention, without
refund. Artist Alley staff have the final say in all matters
pertaining to the rules below.
Rules are subject to
change without notice.

sell and commission their original artwork. Such artwork
should draw upon influences from Japanese culture. In

their table space for such art.

strongly suggested that fan art should not make up more
than 1/4 of your table space. Fan art prints should be

Artist Alley. It is the artist’s responsibility to make
sure that their art does not violate copyright and must
be able to prove it, if challenged.

likeness of a licensed character are not allowed. Any
