Artists’ Alley

Applications for COAF 2025 are now open!
Notifications will go out to accepted artists by September 16, 2024.

Table Pricing

One table space + one badge: $135

Additional artists may share a table space for an additional $45 per artist to cover badge cost and table fees, but all sharing artists’ information must be included in a single application at the time of entry. Studios that work on projects under one name may register as one artist and purchase membership badges for remaining members. You are welcome to have any registered event member assist with sales at your table.

Artist Selection

We believe in being open about the criteria of our juried selection process. Candidates will be evaluated based on quality of artistry or craftsmanship, uniqueness and novelty of product, and potential appeal to COAF attendees. A slight boost in score will be given to local Colorado artists. Because of limited tables and our desire for a wide range of products, we will also reward artists who share space. Judges have not been determined at this time but will be from both inside and outside of the Artists’ Alley community, with a wide range of interests. A thorough waiting list will be kept and artists will be able to obtain their placement on the list. Multiple waiting lists may be kept to maintain a wide variety of product types. Any questions or concerns about this process may be directed to artists@coanimefest.com.

Please note: COAF requires artists to comply with all common industry standards and practices regarding fanart. COAF has a strict, zero-tolerance policy regarding bootlegs and trademark violation. Please see the contract for more information.
