About the application

THIS IS THE APPLICATION FOR ARTIST TABLE SPACE, AKA ARTIST ALLEY.   Fayetteville Comic Con is a SERIOUS ADVOCATE for Artists and Creators, and in so much defines "Artist" as an individual or entity that produces ORIGINAL art (in any medium) for sale. This may be either two dimensional or three dimensional formats, with examples such as prints, cards, posters, stickers, buttons, sculpture, jewelry, apparel, plushies, etc. This is also inclusive of comic book art and/or publications and publications sold direct from an independent author.   This DOES NOT include items like stickers / buttons made from purchased or pirated images (i.e. the Superman Logo). This DOES NOT include 3-D printed sculpts of licensed characters or reproductions of known character accessories, vehicles or other accoutrement. If you are simply reproducing the artwork or intellectual property of others, artist alley is not open to you.    Additionally, AI Generated Art is not allowed in Artist Alley.   We understand that some "GEEK" properties (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, etc.) require licencing for use. With that understanding, Fayetteville Comic Con Inc., Raleigh Llama Productions, Inc., the Cumberland County Civic Center Commission, OVG360, Oak View Group, and their agents, representatives, and employees bear no responsibility for violations or infringements. All risk is born by the Artist.   WE HOLD ALL ARTISTS, THEIR STAFF AND FAMILY TO OUR ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. VIOLATORS WILL BE REMOVED AND NO REFUNDS GIVEN.   Revenue generated from the sale of goods in North Carolina is subject to Sales Tax, enforceable by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. For record, we ask for a Tax ID during registration, but the supply of that identification is at the discretion of the seller. With that understanding, Fayetteville Comic Con Inc., Raleigh Llama Productions, Inc., the Cumberland County Civic Center Commission, OVG360, Oak View Group, and their agents, representatives, and employees bear no responsibility for violations or infringements. All risk is born by the Artist.   We only have six (6) "DOUBLE" spaces available. After those are sold, we will only be offering single artist alley tables, meaning one-table per artist / business. If you require more space, you will need to move into an in-line booth. See Vendor / Exhibitor Application. We reserve the right to assign a double artist alley space to select vendors who have a history of supporting Fayetteville Comic Con. Contact Keith Gibbs directly (fayettevillecomiccon.kdg@gmail.com) to discuss.   Additionally, to assist with the overcrowding issue, Artist tables are only set for two (2) people behind each table. Additional wristbands may be purchased, but people will have to rotate behind the table. We hope that by drawing attention to this issue (as expressed by complaints and concerns from other Artists over the last several shows) that we can make this a positive experience for everyone. Unfortunately, this rule must extend to children of / or under the supervision of the Artist.   This is an electronic agreement and by submitting, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.
 
Location assigned is the discretion of event management. All effort is made to lock space at least 21 days prior to the event, but last minute cancellations or additions may cause assigned space to change.   Artist Alley Tables are 8' non-skirted, with four (4) to six (6) feet behind the table available for seating and display. Displays must not exceed eight (8) feet in width or ten (10) feet in height. All tables have access to electricity (bring extension cord and surge strip to connect). The access to WiFi is limited to upon request.   All Artist Alley tables have been reduced from $190 to $180 to help with the fees that come from the required e-payment.   All artist tables must be paid for at registration. No alternate arrangements can be made, unless you contact FCC first. By offering a little more elbow room to each artist, we need to lock payments early in order to meet costs.   In general, Load-In starts at noon on the Friday and goes until 10:00 PM. Additional load-in may occur on Saturday from 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM, with the show floor opening at 9:30 AM and closing at 6:00 PM. Vendors and Exhibitors may access the show floor on Sunday at 8:00 AM with the show floor opening at 9:30 AM and closing at 6:00 PM. Load out must be complete by 10:00 PM on Sunday.
