Purchasing Guidelines

 

• Upon acceptance, the artist will be emailed a link to our new online registration and payment form. Artists must complete and submit the form and payment by January 16th, 2016, 11:59 pm or their table will be considered forfeit.

• If artists choose to mail in their forms and payment, please notify the Artist Coordinator (art@ai-kon.org) at time of application or any time after to make rearrangements.

• Cancellations after January 31st, 2016 are not entitled to a refund due to the difficulty of arranging for another artist to take that position.

• Unless special arrangements are made, all artists are required to sign in for their table upon arrival at Winterfest or it may be considered forfeit.

 

Artist Faire Rules

• Artwork sold at Ai-Kon must be anime or of Japanese/Asian inspiration and may be done in any medium with the exclusion of food.  

• Artwork for sale must be produced only by the individuals signing this agreement.

• Artists seated behind artist tables must have appropriate coloured wristband/pass.

• All drinks in the room must be contained in re-sealable containers.

• Personal items are to be kept underneath art tables (not behind) to ensure a safe walking space.
