Art Show

How it Works

This year we welcome our Artist Guest of Honor Scott Ross. Scott has a very diverse portfolio from graphic design to musician.

The DemiCon art show is open to all interested artists, both professional and amateur. The art show allows artists to share their work with our attendees. We promote Fantasy and Science Fiction art by helping artists to display and sell their work.

In the Art Show Main Display area we show original works of art, 3-dimensional art, and single copies of prints of original art. Unless an art piece is marked "NFS - Not For Sale", our convention attendees may bid on, or buy via quick sale, any pieces in this area. Attendees will also be able to vote for the show's best amateur artist, professional artist, amateur art piece, and professional piece of art.

The Print Shop area will contain pieces for immediate sale. Pieces in the Print Shop are usually prints or reproductions of published artwork (book covers or magazine illustrations).

The Artist Workspace is open to attending artists, who wish to work at the convention, perform demonstrations, and create works of art to auction for charity, share ideas with other artists and anything else that they wish to do. This will be located outside the Art Show itself.

Artists check out on Sunday from 12PM to 2PM.
Like many sci-fi & fantasy convention art shows, DemiCon's show is run entirely by volunteer workers. All Con-goers who visit the art show are asked (politely, of course!) to check their bags and drinks with the volunteer stationed at the art show's "main table" in order to protect the artists work. Volunteers also help hang and organize the displayed artwork.
Please help us out and volunteer in the Art Show.

GENERAL SALES INFORMATION

• Print Shop sales are handled on a cash-and-carry basis.
• All Main Display area pieces with two or more bids, as well as prize-winning art (excluding Not For Sale items), will go to voice auction on Saturday evening. Pieces are then sold to the highest bidder.
• If a quick sale price is available for a display area work of art, a buyer may purchase that piece immediately for that price, but only if the piece has received no bids. Artwork that has received even one bid is not sold via quick sale. Unsold art can also be purchased at the quick sale price on Sunday.
• Although an art piece receiving no bids may be purchased for the quick sale price at any time, no art will be removed from the Main Display area before the auction Saturday night. Buyers may pick up their quick sale purchases on Sunday. If the buyer will not be attending the Convention on Sunday, they can pick up purchases after the auction Saturday night, if such arrangements have been made in advance with the art show department head, contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
