hanging space. We have many combinations of Art Gallery space listed on
the Art Show registration form. We have 6' x 30" tables available as
well as floor space. There is a 10% commission charged on all artwork
sold in the Art Gallery.
PRINT SHOP : The Art Show has a large area to display prints called the
Print Shop. There is no Print Shop fee for attending artists or agented
art. There is no limit on number of prints, however, be aware that even
though we can display a large number of prints there is a limited amount
of space. A 15% commission is charged on each piece sold in the Print
Shop.
ARTISTS' BAZAAR TABLES : These tables are discounted sales tables for
artists, located in the art room. All items for sale on these tables are
either made by the artist or from the artist's designs. The Artists
Bazaar is a special area for artists to present merchandise related to
their art and is located in the main art exhibition room. The pieces
range from unusual and exotic original jewelry to hand-thrown prints.
MAIL-IN ART : We will be accepting mail-in art. Please see rules for
details if you would are interested in being a mail-in artist.
DISCUSSIONS AND DEMONSTRATIONS : If you would like to do a
demonstration, be included on programming or panel discussions, do a
slide show, or just have some great ideas for art programming, please
let us know by June 15, 2001. The sooner we know your talents or ideas,
the more likely they are to be included. We will have a slide projector
to show artwork. Please don't assume that your desired equipment will be
readily available. If you would like to do a discussion panel or
demonstration please coordinate any equipment or other needs with Art
Show Director by the June 15th deadline and we will do our best to
provide any supporting resources.
Last year, the Dragon*Con 2000 Art Show was a complete success. We had
280 items go to auction and had 390 attendees register for bid numbers.
The Art Show for 2001 will be located in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis,
directly across from the main Exhibit Hall (where the dealers and
exhibitors will be) and autographs, which means the Art Show will get
all of the convention traffic. For Dragon*Con 2001 we currently have 106
artists registered and this number is growing quickly. The new space is
larger by 50% over last year's space.
The Artist Guests of Honors are Frank Kelly Freas

very popular Iron Chef TV show on the Food Network. We will pick an
artist to go against one of our Iron Artists for one hour to create an
amazing piece of artwork and judged by four members of our audience as
to who is the best. No matter what you come to Dragon*Con for there
