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.
WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? The featured artist will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of her purchased prints turning it into a one of a kind original at no charge. This adds $200 value to your canvas!
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. 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!
HOW DO I GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE VOICE ACTORS? Most of the 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. The price is $40 for the standard autograph to products measuring around 8"x10" or flats. 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.
WHERE DO I PARK: Self-parking at the Marriott is FREE!
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.
