Art Show & Art Auction

The A-Kon Art Show offers a collection of art ranging from first time locals all the way to recognized professionals and features fanart from the games and shows we all know and love to original characters and designs. Additionally, We also have artists who specialize in jewelry, textiles, mixed media, and 3D. If you’re looking for original art, limited editions, or one of a kind art directly from the artist’s hand, the A-Kon Art Show is where you can find them, bid on them, and take them home for your personal enjoyment.
