Art Show

Representing scores of participating artists, the Anthrocon Art Show exhibits and sells original artworks of a science fiction, fantasy and/or fannish nature, especially those relating to anthropomorphics. Artists offer works in various media, both flat (sketches, pen-and-ink drawings, paintings, etc.) and 3-dimensional (sculpture, masks, costumes, etc.) for display and sale.

Artists' Alley

Artists Alley is a place for artists to sit and draw, to show off their artistic talents, and maybe even to sell a print or two. It complements the Art Show as a showcase for the amazing creativity found in the Anthropomorphics community.

Dealers Room

Anthrocon hosts one of the largest dealers rooms of any Anthropomorphics convention in the world. A wide variety of anthropomorphic-related books and media as well as a plethora of art and other furry-related items are available throughout all three days of the con.

Charity Auction
