FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS DISPLAYING A SIMILAR EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATION? 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 keep in mind, it is all the same event.
THIS EVENT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS A LEGITIMATE EVENT? We encourage you to Google us at "amazing art expo" where you will see many updates, reviews, etc. We have over 45,000 followers on Facebook, 18,000 on Instagram and have been in business since 2016. We have hosted over 100 events during that time.
IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, everyone is free to attend and no purchase is necessary. Autographs and paint embellishments by the artist are free.
HOW DO I GET MY FREE 9"x12" FREE PRINTS? SHARE this event on any of your social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, X etc.) by August 16th. Limit one free print per individual who shared on their own/separate social media. Get another free print by liking and following our Instagram & Facebook page at amazingartexpo. When you check in at the event, use your phone to show proof you shared the event in order to get your free print.
WHERE DO I PARK: Self-parking at the convention center is FREE!
WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? The featured artists will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of their purchased canvasses turning them into one-of-a-kind originals at no charge. This adds $200 value to your canvas!
ARE KIDS ALLOWED? This event is 100% Kid & Stroller Friendly!
HOW DO I GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE VOICE ACTORS? Most voice actors will be present at the event all 3 days including VIP hours Friday 5:00-9 pm, Saturday and Sunday 11:00 am to 6 pm. See voice actor details for specific availability. Autographs may be purchased at the event (voice actor's booth) using cash, credit card or Apple Pay. There will be other options as well to upgrade your signature to include larger prints, Funkos, swords, statues, quotes/doodles, voice/video recording, selfies, etc. Those prices will be determined at the event itself. You may bring to the event your own product(s) to be signed including print(s), Funkos, swords, etc. Remember, this is also a pop culture art expo and there will be lots of super cool prints relevant to the voice actors available to purchase at the event. We encourage you to take a look at the art show first before getting in line with the voice actors. If you plan to purchase autographs, we recommend you also purchase a VIP ticket since it allows you 1 hour early access to the voice actors before the doors open to the public, at which time the lines can get lengthy.
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.
DO I HAVE TO COSPLAY TO ATTEND THE EVENT? No. Cosplaying is completely voluntary.
