IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, everyone is free to attend and no purchase is necessary. Autographs and paint embellishments by artist Dominic Glover are free. However, there is a cost for autographs by the celebrity voice actors which are available to purchase at the event.
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.
HOW MUCH ARE AUTOGRAPHS/PHOTOS WITH THE VOICE ACTORS? Purchasing autographs here on our Tixr page guarantees your autograph at the event, even if the limited amount of autographs sellout, which they typically do. Standard autographs are $40 each. Your autograph purchase also guarantees you the option to add additional signatures with this voice actor and/or the opportunity to upgrade your signature to include larger prints, Funkos, swords, statues, quotes/doodles, voice/video recording and selfies. Those prices will be determined at the event itself and you can pay the difference for those upgrades at the voice actor's table. You may bring to the event your own product(s) to be signed including print(s),Funkos, swords, etc. Keep in mind, this is also an art expo and there will be lots of super cool prints relevant to the voice actors available to purchase and have signed at the event. For this reason, we encourage you to take a look at the art show first before getting in line with the voice actors. Purchase autographs on our Tixr event page at https://tixr.com/pr/fbdisney/116606
