New! At Millennium Philcon we'll have Art Show docent tours Friday through Sunday, led by pro and fan artists, critics, and other interesting articulate folk.
Before bidding for art, either at the auction or by written bid, or making a purchase at the Print Shop, you must have a bidder number. To do this, fill out a bidder registration card at the Art Show Desk. When you are given your bidder number, you are given a copy of the rules for the Art Show and Print Shop.
Sales of original art will be by written bid only. Bidding will end at 2 PM on Sunday and those pieces receiving eight (8) written bids will go to our voice auction Sunday at 4 PM.
Our Print Shop will have a large display area for the various SF art reproductions that will be entered. These are usually less expensive copies of some of the pieces of original art that are for sale in the Art Show, pieces marked "NFS" (not for sale) or pieces by other artists who choose not to display their original works. All prints will be for sale at fixed prices. Print Shop purchases must be taken away upon purchase. The Print Shop will be open the same hours as the Art Show.
Buyers may pay for art with cash or by check, traveler's checks, Visa, MasterCard, or AMEX. We must collect the 7% sales tax on all Art Show and Print Shop sales, but this will not affect the artist's sales payments.
Photography: Only the official convention photographers and supervised press (including television) will be allowed to photograph the Art Show. The press will not be allowed to target individual pieces without the artist's permission.
Awards: All convention attendees are eligible to vote for the Best Professional Artist and Best Amateur Artist awards. There will be other awards, including "Best In Show" that will be chosen by a panel of judges.
Exhibiting at the Millennium Philcon is a must for any sf or fantasy artist. If you'd like information on showing your work in our Art Show, please see the letter to artists, rules and necessary forms.
New! Art Show and Print Shop control sheets and tags are available to download. There is a zipped file containing the files in .rtf and .pdf formats or you may use the direct pdf links at the top of this page. You may print these files to fill out in before arriving in Philadelphia.
