MEET NASTIYA G: An amazing self-taught watercolor and oil artist. Born in Ukraine, she obtained her bachelor's degree in interior design before relocating to the United States when she was 21. Nastiya's parents, who are also artists, sparked her interest in painting when she was a child, and she has been exploring various painting techniques since the age of 10. Nastiya G's paintings have been exhibited in galleries and art shows nationally and internationally and has brought both a wonderfully fun parody along with serious perspective of Anime, Harry Potter, villains and much more to the art community. Nastiya G will be signing all of her purchased artwork + she will add original paint embellishments/highlights to any of her canvases turning it into its own one-of-a-kind original at no additional charge ($250 added value).

IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, everyone is free to attend and no purchase is necessary. The $15 VIP tickets are completely optional.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED? This event is 100% Kid & Stroller Friendly!
ARE YOU ACCEPTING VENDORS OR ARTISTS FOR THIS EVENT? We are not accepting any vendors for this event. If you are an artist interested in working with us at future events, you may submit examples of your work to [email protected].
IS THERE ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) ART AT THIS EVENT? Absolutely NOT! All our art sold on our website and featured at our show was created by human hands and all made in the USA. We do not believe A.I. art is actually art and we stay firm with that decision.
IS PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED? You are welcome to photograph cosplayers, voice actors and the overall event and encouraged to share it with friends. However, Due to encounters of theft, attempts in converting the art via A.I. and/or unauthorized reproduction (bootlegging) of the artwork, our artists request no closeup photography of the art itself please. Out of respect for the artists, this rule is strictly enforced. All Amazing staff members would be happy to take a photo of the art for you in a manner where it cannot be reproduced so easily - just ask.
WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS DISPLAYING A SIMILAR EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATIONS? These are all the same event! We are limited in the amount of characters we can type in an event title. Since our event encompasses: Anime, Game, Horror, Marvel, DC, Disney, Star Wars, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings, this is simply too long to put into an event title. To make it easier and in order to reach fans of each theme, we have created separate events for these themes but it is all the same event.
DO I HAVE TO COSPLAY TO ATTEND THE EVENT? No. Cosplaying is completely voluntary.
