Artist and Reseller Options

Boskone offers three different options for artists and resellers to display and sell art work at the convention. Interested parties must review the Art Show Rules.

  1. ART SHOW: An exhibition of original work in science fiction, fantasy, and/or fannish nature. Art can be made available for sale.
  2. PRINT SHOP: At the Print Shop, patrons can immediately purchase prints of your artwork.
  3. ART RESALE: Dealers or patrons looking to sell works from their personal art collections can purchase space.

After reviewing the rules, you can choose the Artist and Reseller Options that you would like to reserve via the NESFA store.

The basic unit of space for flat work is the panel, which is made of pegboard (holes 1″ apart) and is 4′ high by 6′ wide. For 3-D art, the basic unit is the table, which is 6′ long by 30″ deep. The available units and their prices are as follows:

  • ¼ unit: $11
  • ½ unit: $22
