IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, absolutely no purchase is necessary. $20 VIP ticket is completely optional.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED? This event is 100% Kid & Stroller Friendly!
ARE YOU ACCEPTING VENDORS OR ARTISTS FOR THIS EVENT? No. 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? 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 photography of the art at the event. Out of respect for the artists, this rule is strictly enforced. Photography of cosplayers and the event itself is allowed and in an effort to share images with friends, 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 ON FACEBOOK DISPLAYING A SIMILAR ART EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATIONS? Yes, these are all the same event! Facebook limits the amount of characters we can type in an event title. Since our event encompasses: Anime, Game Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Disney, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, Horror & 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.
WHERE DO I PARK? Parking is just $5 at the Doubletree Hotel.
DO I HAVE TO COSPLAY TO ATTEND THE EVENT? No. Cosplaying is completely voluntary.
