Artists

ANIMAINE has spent several years overhauling its artist program. We want to encourage new and professional artists alike to come to our show and share their gifts. ANIMAINE is a great place to test out new products with a very interested and dedicated base of consumers.

We love originality
We require that all artists have at least 50% original material at ANIMAINE. We love fan art and we know how important it is to your fans - and your wallet - but we want to encourage you to show off your creativity. Make sure there are samples of your original work on your website or social media accounts.

Our Artist Alley is juried
Our AA is juried, which means staff review all applications and invites artists that ensure that we have a mix of media, skill level, and opportunity.

ANIMAINE has a strict no bootleg policy. We encourage artists to create derivative works ("fan art") so long as that does not exceed 50% of the products they offer for sale at the convention. However, artists with works which are not derivative, such as traces or precise imitations, may be removed from the convention floor by ANIMAINE staff.

You must be at least 18 years old to vend at ANIMAINE.

We do not refund badge purchases for any reason at any time.

We will be opening applications in April. Please keep an eye out for more info!

Vendor’s applications are live!

ANIMAINE strictly limits the number of vendors at ANIMAINE because of our small size and we carefully jury our vendor selection to ensure that we do not have overlapping vendors.

We're a small show with a love for good stuff
ANIMAINE attendees love their merchandise. We might be small, sure, but we buy. Vendors that do well at our show sell figures, games, anime, manga, and unique merchandise.
Please note that the sale of food products of any kind is prohibited. Animaine Inc. reserves the sole right to sell snacks and beverages.

Our Dealers' Room is juried
ANIMAINE has a juried Dealers' Room. This means that our staff review applications and select dealers who will give us the best product mix for our attendees.

You must be at least 18 years old to vend at ANIMAINE.

ANIMAINE has a strict no bootleg policy. A bootleg item is one that is not authorized for sale by the intellectual property owner or their designated representative for our media market. The convention has the sole right to determine whether a product violates this policy. If the convention requests that a vendor remove violating items, the vendor must comply immediately. Failure to comply can result in immediate ejection from the convention. ANIMAINE offers no refund for a vendor that is ejected for violating our anti-bootleg policy and reserves the right to notify law enforcement if the violation is egregious. If you are unsure whether you may sell bootleg items, we discourage you from applying to vend at our show. ANIMAINE takes this issue very seriously and employs professional rights agents to patrol vendor and artist areas.

We do not refund badge purchases for any reason at any time.
