GalaCon - Art Gallery
Greetings, everyone!
As last year, we want to give the fantastic creativity in the fandom plenty of chances to shine - But we are not going to just repeat what we did last year. We strive to improve, and with our expansion in con space we can expand on showcasing art, too!
One of those ways will be the Art Gallery - It will return bigger and better than ever.
Last year, space constraints made the gallery smaller than we wanted, and sadly confined to just one room. This time, we have enough room and hallways to use to give all art the attention it deserves, and make sure it will be seen by plenty of people!
And don't forget that if you agree to it, your piece will be part of our Charity Auction - This time prefaced by a Silent Auction that will be ongoing throughout the convention.
How it works is very simple: Each item approved for the auction will have a so called bid sheet next to it, a sheet the con guests can write bids for the art piece on. If the sheet doesn't get filled, the last bid on it wins the item; if the sheet gets filled all the way, the respective item goes into the main auction at the end of the con with the last bid as the starting price.
Our volunteers will of course make sure that all items are protected and that the bidding goes smoothly. We can never guarantee that nothing will be damaged, but we'll keep things safe to the best of our capabilities!
Now, you want to send your art in but it's digital? Or you won't be at the con? No matter if digital or physical or whether you attend the con yourself or not, we can make it work. Just read here on our website how.
We can't wait for all your fantastic submissions! And don't forget that Project GLACEON will be part of the gallery too. The deadline for you to submit a trading card of your own for charity has been extended to the 1st July, so make sure to contribute until then!
All the best, Your GalaCon Team
Crystal Fair St. Louis Returning!
Hello one and all!
Kitenshi here, Co-Chair for the St. Louis Crystal Fair, here to announce that the Crystal Fair is returning! We will be having the Fair October 17th through the 19th, and it will be held at the Sheraton Westport. It's looking to be even bigger and better than last year!
Our biggest focus was responding to feedback from last year, and we listened! One of the big concerns was the layout of our website, and we changed it completely! You can see all of our guests, registration, location, and contact information at http://crystalfairstl.com/. We are also increasing the space we have at our disposal so there are more activities everyone can choose from. We are also changing up the dances we are having, and more details will be added on those soon!
Our guest list is currently very small, but we currently have two guests who will definitely be coming this year. We have Semehammer, our main artist for the Fair, who created the mascots for the convention. We also have Jenn Blake, the IDW comic artist, who will be returning again this year. More information on their accomplishments in the My Little Pony community are listed on our website in the guests section.
We are constantly updating any new information that we have , so make sure to check out our website or our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CrystalFairStl.
We hope to hear from you all soon!
Kitenshi
Crystal Fair, Co-Chair
