- Artist Alley |
The Artist Alley is a long
standing feature and tradition of fan conventions. A place
where artists of all sorts can come to display, promote and sell their
works. It
has also been used as a place for Fans & Groups to come and
promote there Clubs, Conventions and Events.
We
offer spaces in the Artists Alley as a more affordable alternative to
our Dealers Room for Artists of all types who would like to
sell
and/or display there original art, crafts and creations, and
to Fan Groups, Fan Clubs and other Fan Conventions to
promote themselves and all they have to offer.
This year we
are providing Shared Artist Alley table spaces
(4'x30") for the low cost of $10.00 USD to Pre-Registered
Fandemonium 3-Day Attendees who want one. We also have Full Artist
Alley table spaces (8'x30") available
to Pre-Registered Fandemonium 3-Day Attendees for $20.00 USD. There
are however a limited number of Artist Alley table spaces available so
if you
want one you MUST reserve it in advance.
To reserve your Artist Alley table space in advance please Pre-Register for a Fandemonium 3-Day Pass.

We will need the following information so that we

Q:
How much does it cost for an Artist Alley table?
A:
For a shared Half Table Space (4'x30")
the
cost this year is $10.00 USD with Pre-Registration and E-mail request, you
can upgrade that
space to a Full Table Space 8'x30" for an additional $15.00
(USD). And you can get an additional
8'x30" space for $20.00
(USD) if you need extra room.
Q:
Why do you requier Artists to Pre-Register for the convention?
A:
The
Nampa Civic
Center where Fandemonium is held each year charges us for each Artist
Alley table we
use. So the Artist Alley ends up costing us about
$500.00 (USD)
just for it to
exist. We are charged for the tables wether they are used or not and in
past years we have had both artists and groups request tables and then
not show up for the convention. Which costs us money that we could be
using to make other areas of the convention better. So by requiering
Pre-Registration we verify that you are coming and will be using your
table.
Q:
I can only Attend Fandemonium for one day this year can I still get an
Artist Alley Table?
A:
Only if your willing to purchase a 3-Day pass. As the cost of the
Artist Alley Tables that the NCC charges us is at a Fixed Rate.
Q: What type of
items am I
allowed to sell in Artist Alley?
A:
There are
many types of Items you may sell in Artists Alley, but keep in mind
that they must have been created by you. Pretty much anything
that is Fan created and Fandom related. A few examples are things such
as the following:
- Original art: Sci-Fi, Fantasy,
Horror, Japanese Anime, Animation, Comic Book, etc. themed art that you
have created.
- Fan Art: Your rendition or
interpretation of characters from the various genres of Fandom.
- Fan Films, Fan Music Videos
(Fanvid's), Anime Music Videos (AMV's), Fan Made Music and Filk CD's
that you personally created.
- Fan made Comics or Manga,
Fan-Fiction, Fan-Zines, Stoires, Music or Filk Lyrics you have written,
etc.
- Works of Sewing, Crocheting,
Knitting, Quilting, Needlepoint, etc.
- Wood works, carvings, etc.
- Metal workings, chain mail,
swords & knives, etc.
- Costumes, Props, &
Pieces that you have created.
If you have
something that you created that you want to sell in Artists' Alley but
aren't sure that its ok, just e-mail the Fandemonium Art Diretcor at artistalley@fandemonium.org
and she will tell you if its something that may be sold.
Q: Is there WiFi available in the Artist Alley
A: Maybe.
Some years it is working some years it has not and it has gone back and
forth from a pay servive to a free service to a pay service. So we
would honestly say do not plan on it.
Q:
I've never had an Artist
Alley Table before what should I do/bring/etc.
A:
Here are
some tips for first time Artist Alley participants
1. Try to have a
range of items, some inexpensive and some more expensive.
2. If you
have a
lot of items or a large table display bring a handcart
3.
If
you
plan to leave your merchandise there over night please bring a drop
cloth to cover your merchandise.
4. If
your going to be selling your art bring a
calculator or cash register and change. One and five dollar bills go
fast.
5. Hand
out
receipts for what you sell. It helps security with potential
shoplifters.
6. Make
cash
deposits/drops on a regular basis. Hotels have safe deposit boxes for
guests and there are many banks in the downtown Nampa area.
7.
Hand
out
flyers,
business cards or mail-order catalogs and/or get an advertisement in
the program book. It helps people find your website after the
convention.
8.
Have
at
least two people working your booth(s). You’ll need to get
away from the table at some point, guaranteed.
9. Try
to be
friendly,
outgoing, courteous and expedient when dealing with potential
customers. You will be surprised at just how much this will help
improve your selling experience at Fandemonium.
10.
Don’t just sit
there and wait for customers to come to you. Talk to attendees as they
walk past, get their attention, actively promote your merchandise and
sale items. You will find that this will greatly increase
your
sales.
11. Decorate your Artist Alley booth space, put a banner on
the
front of your table space. You are free to decorate your booth however
you like so long as it does not interfer with another artist or break
any Fandemonium or Nampa Civic Center Rules.
