Exhibits Division: Art Show

The Art Show will be in the Ballroom on the third floor of the Hynes Convention Center. It is a huge, carpeted room, with high ceilings with drop chandeliers. This will be a "lit" show—we will be augmenting the ballroom's normal lighting with additional light sources. The setup will be similar to those used at MagiCon, LACon III, Bucconeer, and the Millennium Philcon and will have as the core staff the people behind those efforts.

With approximately 350+ panels of flat art, 40 tables of 3-D art, and the possibility of two Special Art-Related Exhibits, we expect this to be the largest Science Fiction and Fantasy Art Show since MagiCon. The Hynes Ballroom has approximately 25,000 square feet of space—more than enough to house everything.

We plan to award ribbons for exemplary work. The Best Artist awards will be given by vote of the attendees. A panel of judges will give out most of the awards.

Information for Artists—We will send out the official Artists' mailing in February 2004. We acknowledge receipt of your entry either by email or by postcard showing your space reservation (and any wait-listed space). We will be using as the basis for our initial mailing the databases from the last few Worldcon Art Shows and the Boskone Art Show list as well as those addresses that have been sent in. If you believe that you may not be on one of those lists or have moved in the last few years, please send your address to:
