General Info:
Please join us in Houston A on the 3rd Floor of the Convention Center for this year's Art Show. The Art Show functions as a gallery of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime art as well as a silent auction during regular show hours. We do not allow food, drink, large props, cameras, or bags into the show and we cannot be held responsible for items left at the door. So visit us before you visit the dealer's room!

Buying / Bidding:
You must have a buyer number to bid or purchase any piece in the show or at the live auction. Buyer numbers are available at the table outside the art show beginning at 10 am Friday. The live auction Saturday evening is for those pieces with four (4) or more silent bids. Please bring credit card, cash or check and be prepared to pay tax for any purchases made in the show or at the live auction.

Bidders are responsible for purchasing any piece they bid on. Please, only bid on what you can afford to buy. All purchased artwork must be picked up before 3 pm on Sunday. Any art work won, but left and not paid for will go back to the artist at the close of show.

Artists:
Artists are responsible for following the art show rules they agree to upon entry into the show which include not submitting any plagiarised materials.
