Artist Alley
The Kumoricon Artist Alley welcomes amateur and professional artists to showcase their work and original merchandise. Artist Alley merchandise traditionally includes fan art prints, manga, models, paintings, and novelty crafts, but is limited only by your imagination.
Update: Due to the postponement of Kumoricon 2020, we will not be making acceptance decisions for Kumoricon 2021 Artist Alley or Small Press based on our 2020 application process. We understand that stock and skill change over time and we would like to give all our applicants an equal opportunity for admission, so we will be asking that artists reapply in 2021.
Instead, the top 120 Artist Alley and top 20 Small Press applications (from our 2020 juries) will be listed and promoted on our website as part of a digital KumoriMarket. We will contact these accepted applicants via email with further details.
Exhibitor Area
The Kumoricon Exhibitor Area provides space to retailers and other dealers selling a wide range of goods at the convention.
Applications for Exhibitors are open.
Update: Due to the postponement of Kumoricon 2020, by default, all exhibitor booths that have been paid for Kumoricon 2020 will be automatically rolled over to the 2021 convention. If you would like to do this, you do not need to take any action. Those who allow their booth to roll over to 2021 will be given a free booth tier upgrade where applicable, by request only and on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who cannot attend the 2021 dates and would like a refund can request one by August 16, 2020, by emailing the KumoriMarket team at exhibits@kumoricon.org. We are still accepting exhibitor applications.
Small Press
The Kumoricon Small Press welcomes freelance artists and creators by providing space to sell their personal works at the convention. Kumoricon defines the Small Press section as independently-developed artist businesses featuring original content. This includes companies that focus on fashion apparel, tabletop games, webcomics, plushies, and much more!
