FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHERE DO I PARK? Self Parking at the Riverside Convention Center is discounted to $15 however, there is plenty of parking lots and street parking nearby. Plus, downtown Riverside offers free parking on the weekends!
HOW DO I GET MY FREE PRINT? Tag a friend on Instagram or SHARE the event on your Facebook timeline or Instagram pg by May 4th. When you check in at the event, simply use your phone to show us you shared the event & you will be given your choice of a free print. Limit 1 Free Print per individual who shared Event. Artists will not sign free prints.
WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? The artist will be signing any of his artwork purchased at the show. For any canvases purchased, the artist will also add paint hand embellishments/highlights to the canvas, essentially turning it into its own, one of a kind original, at no additional charge.

IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, no purchase whatsoever is necessary. VIP tier is completely optional
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!
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.
DO I HAVE TO COSPLAY TO ATTEND THE EVENT? Absolutely not. Cosplaying is completely voluntary.
WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR THE COSPLAY CONTEST? Monsters, princesses, princes, superheroes, Jedi, wizards, witches and even muggles of all ages are encouraged to attend and may be introduced to the crowd with a particular theme song to their costume/character (at the discretion of Amazing Art Expo crew).
