PROXY SELLING IS NOT ALLOWED
Artists must appear all three days at Anime NYC, and tables cannot be operated by resellers or art brokers. Artists must show their ID at registration before set up can begin, and this ID must match the name and information in your application. Any exceptions must be requested in writing as part of your Artist Alley application. Anyone misrepresenting themselves or otherwise engaging in proxy selling risks being removed from Anime NYC’s 2021 Artist Alley and banned from future Anime NYC Artist Alleys.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Anime NYC’s Artist Alley is NOT first come, first served – rather, it is a curated experience with our Artist Alley participants carefully selected.

This is a table request form. It is not a contract, and it does not guarantee space. All Artist Alley space is limited, and acceptance in Artist Alley in previous years does not guarantee acceptance this year.

Individuals as well as collectives or studios with multiple artists may apply, but collectives/studios must identify each of their members within the application.

Tables cannot be shared with any artists not listed within the application.

All artists, helpers, and collective/studio members must be 18-years-old or older by November 19, 2021.

If you plan to share your table or exhibit with a collective/studio only ONE member should apply for an Artist Alley table. Multiple members should not apply. Multiple applications from the same collective/studio will not increase your chances of acceptance.

Accepted artists will receive one Artist Alley table. No artist will receive more than one table space, and no displays that extend across more than one table space are allowed. This applies to both individual artists and collectives/studios.

Accepted applicants are expected to be at their table during all open hours of Anime NYC.

All tables are 8’W x 2’D x 30″H and come with two chairs. Additional chairs must be requested and ordered prior to the event.

Tables do not include electricity, and electricity cannot be ordered in Artist Alley.

Wifi is not included, but both free and paid wifi options are available directly from the building.

Artist Alley tables come with two Artist Alley badges.

Accepted artists may purchase up to two additional Artist Alley badges ($95) per table should they need them for additional members of a studio and/or helpers. Artist Alley badges allow entrance during set up hours before and after public hours each day.

Artist Alley tables must be staffed during all Anime NYC’s public hours by a minimum of one person. The maximum number of people allowed behind an Artist Alley table is four.

Contracted Artist Alley tables cannot be transferred. In the event of an artist’s cancellation, payments are only refundable in cases of family or medical emergencies. (Should Anime NYC itself be cancelled, contracted artists would have the ability to cancel their table for a refund or roll their table to the next Anime NYC.)

Our Artist Alley is for indie creators, webcomic artists, crafters, makers, professional writers and illustrators, and small press and fashion brands – and everything sold must be the work of the creator(s) at the table. If you’re selling mass-produced items or are otherwise a retailer or large publisher, you won’t be approved for Artist Alley and should purchase a booth to exhibit. If you have questions about this, please email info@animenyc.com.

We want to celebrate fans of anime and manga and their artistry, and we encourage original prints, crafts, comics, etc, but mass-produced fan works or fan works that use or are based on licensed, copyrighted material (including character art, background art, logos, etc) fall under our bootleg policy and are prohibited. Do not create buttons, pins, bags, keychains, T-Shirts, etc. with official art or any art that isn’t yours. Don’t trace, copy, or place Photoshop filters over someone else’s work and call it your own. If you display fanart or fan crafts which don’t follow this guide, you may be asked to remove them from display by the Anime NYC team or risk being removed from Artist Alley without refund. You can read our full bootleg policy here – animenyc.com/policies.

All work displayed must be that of the creator(s) purchasing the space, plagiarized works or the unauthorized use of copyrighted works may result in the forfeit of your table space without refund and potential banning from future Anime NYC events.

Adult themed materials are allowed but must be tastefully displayed and cannot be accessed by or sold to anyone under 18.
