About the event

BwPCon! is a FREE one day event featuring a wide range of local artists all gathered to show your their stuff! The event is heavily inspired by the Artist Alley halls traditionally found at comic and anime conventions, giving our nerdier friends a chance to gather and support community.

FAQs

Can I apply with a partner?

Yes! Splitting tables is perfectly alright, so long as both parties are included in the application. This means both artists names + portfolios.

 

Can I apply with a whole group?

Technically, yes. If you are a collective or group looking to share a vendor space please choose ONE person to be your representative, and have them fill out the form. Art examples from all parties are required. Max of two to a Table and four to a Vendor tent. 

 

I'm an artist- can I apply for a half table?

Yes! anyone can apply for any table size that you think best suits your needs. We have them labeled as "Writer's" and "Artist's" for label convenience, but they're not strict lines, and will not affect your placement. 

 

Can I apply for multiple table sizes?

Yep! Choose whichever is your highest preference and then in the "anything else" section tell us if you're flexible with it. 

Will I get a heads up before being charged?

Yes. 100%. Fees are currently set to be "charged at a later date", which means getting accepted will not automatically charge anyone. We hope to clearly communicate with our vendors before any charges go through, as randomly bankrupting people with surprise charges is very uncool and we don't want to do that!
