Full details for Another Anime Con’s 2012 Artist Alley are now available on the Artist Alley Page. There have been a number of changes since last year.

The Artist Alley registrations will open this Saturday, June 30th, at 8pm.

If two artists want to share a table, I understand that we can register one as the assistant, but do we have to have one name title for our table, or can we put two? And can we put two websites? I'm doing this for the first time, so I am unsure as to how this works exactly.
And also once we register and if we get the table, then do you ask for the rest of our info for purchasing our registration and writing out the rest of the info on our badges?

You can put separate names or websites if you are sharing a table.

For example, you would put something like this:

Website: www.site1.com/www.site2.com
Nick name: studioname1/studioname2

Once you are approved, you will be asked for additional information, and receive a payment form.

This is Don.

I am making a concerted effort to be more readily accessible for questions or concerns. With that in mind... regarding the question on two artist sharing a table:

One name for registration and a listed name as Assistant is ONLY for the purpose of initially securing your table.

How either of you wish to be listed, i.e. your names and websites; on our website and in the program, is a "write in" on the Alley Payment Form you will be receiving.

That information will be forwarded to the appropriate committee heads and posted accordingly.

Hello,

I recently sent an email to register as an artist. It was about two days ago and I was wondering about how long it will take before I get a reply. Also this is my first convention as an artist so any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Lisa]

Normally it would only take a day or so but this might take a bit longer. Don is in a play this weekend and is in rehearsal just about every night this week, then a lot of us also work OGC the following week. Please be patient and the worst case scenario is that you will hear the beginning of August. As we still have artist tables left I feel confident in saying you will get in and will be given a confirmation soon.

I just have a couple of questions? I sent an email about this a little while ago, but I didn't really get a clear answer...

I was just wondering, are there limitations on what can be sold? I'm not talking about merchandise or fan art. I just want to make sure I can sell prints and commissions.

How big are the tables? I mean, length by width by height, if possible. I was hoping to make a tablecloth...

I know the rules say that we can't have outside food, but can we bring in food from one of the stands?

And, is there a specific time to set up, and can we keep things there overnight? Though, you'd probably answer this one just before the con...

I do apologize if the answers seem obvious, but I get rather paranoid that I'm not following the rules properly, and that if I don't follow the rules I'll get kicked out of the con, and if i get kicked out of the con I'll never be able to get a table at any other con ever again....

What if we need to cancel our reservations? Is there any way to cancel the invoice?

As long as you either created the art or have permission from the artist to sell things you are fine. Basically don't sell someone's else's work as your own.

The tables are 6 foot length. I don't know the full dimensions as we have to rent them.

Of course you could buy food there and bring it to your table. You are taking the risk of your own merchandise. There will also be tables in the far end of the room where you could eat if you don't want to have it at your table. We're not trying to starve you, the hotel just prefers people not bring it food they bought across the street into the area where they have food available. That said, if you bring in a small cooler nobody would say anything.

Set up time will be announced soon. We are working with the hotel, rental company and our staff to come up with when everything will be available for you guys. Yes, the room locks every night so you can keep your stuff in there.

I hope this answers everything. Don't sweat it too much, we're not ogres

Hello. I had a question. I already paid for my Artist Alley table ($100.00's) and I was wondering if this includes the actual badge to the convention, or do I need to purchase that separately. Because I know I'm supposed to pick up my Artist Alley Badge at Artist Alley, but I'm not sure about the other badge or if those are the same. I know if I do need to pay for that badge that I need to do it really quickly. Like, within the next few days. ^^;;;; I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area, but I didn't know where else to ask so I figured this thread would be the best to post this concern about...

I have a question. This is my first year at AAC and it has been a while since I was in an artist alley. For AAC do we need to pre register for the con first or can we just meet you to get our badges that we got for the Artist Alley without buying pre reg ones used to enter the con? Or do you need both?

Pretty sure Artist Alley registration will cover your convention badge, but Lisa/Don can correct me if I'm wrong!

Yes, your Artist Alley badge is also your convention badge. You just wear one all weekend
