Artist Alley Pro Row Application *WEEKEND MEMBERSHIP INCLUDED*

This is the application for a Pro Row table in Anime Boston's Artists' Alley.  This is a juried process and will close on the Deadline date and time listed above.  Here are the following requirements for our Pro Row:

• All Pro Row artists who are applying as individuals cannot share their space with anyone. They also cannot sell any other artist's work.
• All Pro Row artists who are applying as studios must have been established for at least three years. They must also have projects that the entire studio has worked on together, and not just individual projects. All studio applicants will be investigated to confirm their legitimacy. Information will be gathered from previous Anime Boston Artists' Alley, as well as the Artists' Alleys of other conventions.
• The Pro Row is not for a group of individuals who want to pool money to afford an 8 foot space.
• All works being sold/displayed are required to have been created by the artist listed in this application.
  Any work that is materially different from the rest of your body of work will be questioned. You must provide proof upon request that you are the original artist for any work that has been transformed by a 3rd party (for example: Castings, Clothing, Plushies, etc.).
• 75% of the artist's work sold at Anime Boston must be original art and not fan art. The focus is on an artist's own creations, and not the intellectual property of someone else. If your website only shows fanart, you will be disqualified.
• AI created works are strictly prohibited.

Artists are allowed to fill out both the Pro Row and our Standard Application at the same time. If accepted into Pro Row, our team will withdraw your Standard Application. 

Each table includes one (1) Anime Boston Membership associated with the primary contact on this application. A membership must be purchased for every person that you plan to have help you at the event, or they will not allowed access to Artist Alley. Sharing a membership with a helper/other artist is strictly prohibited.

Should your legal name be different from your preferred name, please add a note under special requests and we will do our best to use that in our communications with you. 

Helpers: We realize that it is difficult to staff a table all by yourself, and you may desire helpers. Due to space constraints, we only allow four (4) people to be behind the table at any one time. If you are found to have more than this you will be asked to send someone out. We realize that at this time, you may not know who your helpers will be, for this reason, we will send out a google form to all accepted artists to update their helper information. Please note that all helpers MUST have/purchase a convention badge in order to attend.
