Art Show Call For Artists
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!
