What’s the difference between Artist Alley, the Art Show, and Club tables?
The Artist Alley (what this page is all about) consists of approximately 60 tables lining the hallways of the main conference space. Artist Alley tables are ideal for networking, taking commissions, and selling prints. Space in Artist Alley is intended for individual artists and writers. Two memberships are included with table reservations.
The Art Show is an art gallery. Artists display and sell their artwork in the silent auction without having to babysit it. Additionally, pieces that get enough bids in the silent auction by Saturday afternoon go to the live art auction on Saturday evening conducted by Soonercon staff. Artists who have a Membership for Soonercon will have the chance to meet potential buyers at the art reception on Friday evening. Check out the Soonercon Art Show for more info.
Club Tables are intended for clubs, organizations, and conventions – not individuals. Each Club table comes with four memberships. Club space is located in the Exhibitor Hall. Sales and fundraisers at Club tables are prohibited without prior written permission from our club coordinator. Check out the Clubs page for more info.
