San Japan 2025 Indie Artist Application - Jury Selection

The cost of Artist Alley booth is $475 + 3% platform fee.

This form opens at 11:00 PM Central on May 15th

****NOTE****

Do NOT apply for this application if you do not own the IP. We will DISQUALIFY the application if we spot ***ONE*** copyright or trademark item on the application or when reviewing your portfolio, along with a review of past artwork, even if you have no intent to sell the trademark item at San Japan.

This application is intended for artists and creators who only create and sell their own IP—original designs, artwork, and published items—and own every IP for sale at their table. 

Advise:

--Add a section on your portfolio website (wix, carrd, square, etc) that's just for original art/merch

--Compile pictures of your original art/merch in a gallery separate from your normal portfolio (Google Drive, imgur, etc)

--Build up a mock table display using just original art/merch at home so we can have a better visual of you being able to fill a 10x10 booth

PLEASE, We Remind Everyone: FAN ARTIST IS NOT AN INDIE ARTIST. If you are unsure if your portfolio would qualify, we do not advise applying for this application.

Other reasons not to make it in:

--On Sales Tax ID Invalid OR Inactive.
--Do not submit your federal EIN. If you put your federal EIN in the sales tax ID field, your application will be immediately tossed out.

If you do not have a texas sales tax id number, you should not apply at all.

DO NOT RUSH, this is what causes mistakes, primarily if you use autofill. Applying does not give you an advantage at all. This application will close on June 15th or when we reach 100 applications.

This is a jury application. After general screening to ensure all applicants have submitted the correct Texas sales tax information, we will select 14 applications from jury selection. All applicants will be notified by June 30th. All applicants will be billed to the credit, debit, or ACH payment on file upon approval. We will pick a different applicant if the payment is not approved.
