Attention all crafters and illustrators!
Get your portfolios ready for FanimeCon’s 2026 Artist Alley Application cycle! We will begin receiving applications starting November 8th at 12:00PM (PT).
Due to high interest in our Artist Alley, the form will close at 1,000 applicants.
Save some time on our Artist Alley Accounts portal to prepare your portfolio now, BEFORE the submission window opens. One week before applications open, take advantage of the feature by creating an account to populate information such as your contact information and sample images.
This year, 60 artists will be returning from FanimeCon’s 2025 Artist Alley. These artists have been identified as returning folks who consistently receive high scores during jury and are known to demonstrate dedication in adhering to our Artist Alley policies. This does not mean that we are filling the entire Artist Alley with past artists. The application cycle will still run as it has in previous years.
Looking to get more information about what goes on in the Artist Alley? Check out our FAQ or email us directly at artistalley@fanime.com for additional questions.
