Aurawra Artist's Alley

What is the Artist’s Alley?

The Artists Alley is an autonomous space for artists to meet, network, sell commissions, and showcase themselves to both local and international congoers.

How is this different from the Dealers Den?

The Artists Alley is autonomous, meaning that anyone with a rego can showcase their stuff. The Artist Alley is also limited in scope, meaning that only table commissions, prints, zines, and small items such as pins and charms can be sold.

The Artist Alley is meant to be a way to highlight as much Aussie talent as possible without requiring the commitment of a Dealers Den table.

Rules for the space

What can I do at my Artist Alley Table?

Artist Alley tables are designed for selling and promoting table and take-home commissions. Stickers, pins, charms, prints and other small items and crafts may also be sold.

NSFW items, prints, and commissions may be sold in the Artist Alley, but must be either appropriately censored if on display or in a dedicated folder. NSFW commissions may not be worked on in public view.

Sell commissions or small goods at a free table, work on commissions, meet fellow artists, or make use of the free drawing area.

We expect artists to be considerate of those around them, and be responsible for any mess they make. The use of the space reflects on the convention and our attendees.

What can’t I do at my Artist Alley Table?

You cannot run a Fursuit or costume-part focused table. Feel free to bring along a fursuit project you're working on, however, you may not actively work on Fursuits in the Artist Alley.

Any trimming of fur or use of glitter in any craft will lead to immediate and automatic ejection from the Artist Alley space.

Aurawra staff may request that you alter your display at any time to better meet the guidelines of our event. Furthermore, you must also follow the Rules Regarding Artists and Crafters found in our rules document here.

Failure to follow convention guidelines may result in removal from the Artist Alley.

Tables

How do I get a table?

Rock up at the space when it opens and claim a free spot! Aurawra staff will be present to ensure fair distribution of tables.

How long can I have the table for?

Until the Alley closes. Just keep in mind that you cannot leave your table unsupervised for an extended period of time. If you wish to take part in con activities, be courteous and pack up your table so someone else can utilise it.

Can I modify my table?

Tables may be decorated with small signs and displays such as pinboards and business card holders. Tables cannot, however, be extended vertically with wire cages or similar or taken over substantially with custom tablecloths or front-mounted corflute. A single artist can occupy no more than a single table. Tables cannot be moved without the approval and consent of staff.
