WisCONline 2025

WisCONline Art Show Applications are Open

Leave a comment
Since the con is online-only this year, we won’t be setting up a physical room or selling artists’ work directly (or charging commission fees). However, we would still love to see and show the artwork of the WisCon community!

In past years, the Art Show has included painting, drawing, illustration, photography, comics, printmaking, jewelry and other wearable art, sculpture, and more — basically, please do apply if you make any form of visual art and want to share it with WisCon members.

The online show will consist of images and descriptions submitted by artists, curated on a 2025 Art Show page on wiscon.net. They will also be shared on WisCon’s social media, and artists who attend will be able to post about their work in an Art Show channel on the private WisCon Discord.

To apply for the show, please fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/8D94BCMzmZCzwrZB9

Applications will be open through March 31.

Please contact the Art Show organizers (Tahlia and Sherry) at artshow@wiscon.netif you have any questions.

Art Show Call For Artists

Leave a comment

Hello, artists! If you’re considering attending or sending art to WisCon this year, applications for the Art Show are open. The convention dates are May 24-27, 2019, and the deadline to apply is March 1. Late applicants will be waitlisted unless there is extra space. More information can be found on our Art Show page, and the link to apply is here.

Please note a few significant cost-related changes: To continue covering the costs of the show, the commission WisCon takes on sales has gone up to 5% attending/10% mail-in. Also, mail-in artists will be required to cover return shipping for their unsold work (preferably by including a prepaid return shipping label in the box).
Thank you!

The convention dates are May 25-28, 2018, and the deadline to apply is March 1. Late appliers will be waitlisted unless there is extra space. More information can be found at http://wiscon.net/events/art-show/, and the link to apply is https://account.wiscon.net/artshow-application/.

Finally, the convention has a programming theme this year: “What Does Justice Demand?” We’re inviting artists to consider incorporating the theme into their work for the show, although it’s not mandatory. See the blog post here for more about the theme: http://wiscon.net/2017/12/01/wiscon-42-trying-something-new/

Thank you!
