Art Show
The art show features art submitted by artists from all over the country. Every year brings new and different art to the show, so there is always something interesting to see. The art is displayed for sale to the convention membership via an auction system. If enough bids are placed on an item, it goes to the voice auction on Saturday night.
In 2008, we are hoping to hold our biggest show ever. Due to the four-day convention, we are trying to bring in as much new and diverse artwork as we possibly can so that our patrons have more to browse during that extra time. So if you are an artist, or know an artist who might be interested in participating in the show, please contact us. It's not difficult to participate. All the forms and guidelines can be found below in both PDF and Word Documents. The PDF forms are even 'fillable'. Though make sure you save them as a local file before filling them out and saving. They are also available in zipped up bundles of either format.

The demonstrations by artists seemed to be popular again this year, so we hope to continue that tradition in 2008 with even more artists. If you'd like to participate, just let us know.
Artists currently registered include:
- Daniel Cortopassi
- Cathy Wappel
- James Wappel
We are constantly trying to improve the art show, both for the artists, and the patrons. If you can think of any way we might be able to improve the show, please let us know. We'll see what we can make happen. Not all suggestions are possible (we wish we could take credit cards just as much as you do), but we will discuss any suggestions we receive and see what we can do.
The show is entirely run by volunteers, so we are always looking for help running the show. If you are interested in helping out, please drop us an email at artshow@convergence-con.org.
More information will be posted to this site as we get closer to the convention. If you have any questions, please contact artshow@convergence-con.org.
