What's the difference between the Dealers' Den and Artist Alley?
The Dealers' Den is a space for professional vendors who sell a wide variety of options from apparel, fursuits, various artworks, and more. Artist Alley is a lower pressure space for those who want to dip their paws into the world of selling, but still have time to explore the rest of the convention.
Can I apply to both the Den AND Alley?
Yes! Please be aware that you can only be approved for one or the other, since they take place at the same time.
Do dealers and artists need to register separately for the convention?
The dealer application is filled out while registering to attend the convention on MyAWU. You can apply to the Artist Alley on the same page.
How are dealers and artists selected?
Slots are given on a hybrid lottery/juried basis.
Is there a wait list?
Yes. The wait list becomes available as soon as slots have been filled. Any dealers/artists who apply after February 13, 2026 are automatically added to the wait list.
What if I have an assistant?
Additional registrations for the convention can be added once you have been confirmed as a dealer or artist. Anyone inside the convention space is required to purchase a convention badge.
How big are the tables?
All tables are eight feet long and two feet deep. Artist Alley members will receive a half-table space (four feet long by two feet deep). Dealers' Den members will receive one or two full tables (depending on what was applied for).
Are booth options available?
Booth spaces (8 feet x 8 feet) may be requested in the application but are not guaranteed. Booths are primarily for those wanting more openly accessible space, compared to a normal two-table space. Booths will not be provided with tables unless directly requested.
How much are WiFi, power, and parking?
Free, free and free. $0.00. 'Bout free-fitty. Nada.
