Artist Alley and Creators’ Column applications are open!

Posted February 21, 2026

Applications are now open for Kumoricon’s Artist Alley and Creators’ Column.

Starting now, applications are available and will remain open for 24 hours only, closing on February 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time. All submissions must be completed within this window.

Artist Alley is designed for amateur and professional artists showcasing individual artwork and handmade goods. This space traditionally features fan art prints, manga, models, paintings, novelty crafts, and other creative pieces driven by individual artists.

Creators’ Column (Formally Small Press) is intended for independently developed artist businesses focused on original content. This section includes creators producing fashion apparel, tabletop games, webcomics, plushies, and other self-developed brands and products.

If you are ready to share your work with the Kumoricon community, apply now.

We look forward to reviewing your applications.
