IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, no purchase whatsoever is necessary. VIP ticket is completely optional.
WHERE DO I PARK? Self Parking at the Hilton is discounted to $15 however, there are several parking lots nearby at just $4/hour which include MacArthur Plaza Garage (ABM parking) at 19000 MacArthur Plaza Garage.
WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS ON FACEBOOK ADVERTISING 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: Star Wars, Marvel, DC Comics, Anime, Game, 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.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED? This event is 100% Kid & Stroller Friendly!
ARE YOU ACCEPTING VENDORS OR ARTISTS? Artists are welcome to submit their social media, website or imagery to [email protected] but we are not accepting vendors for this venue.
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. We do not believe A.I. art is actually art and we stay firm with that decision.
