The Artist Alley FAQ
Q: Is the AA sold out?
A: Yes and no, it was sold out as of June 2008. We have since worked hard to be creative and opened up floor space for additional tables.
Q: How can I register for a table?
A: (see below first) Check here, fill in this, and send it in to the stated address
Q: How old do I have to be to get a table?
A: 18, 16 with parental consent and help getting the sellers permit and registering the table
Q: Can I use the 2008 contract?
A: NO
Q: Help on the sellers permit
A: http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/reg.htm
Q: If I registered for a table at 2008, will the contract changes affect me?
A: Yes they will, but you will not need to turn in the contract again. Please see AA page for details
Q: When will I be notified that you have received my contract?
A1: If you registered at con 2008, we will notify you when we send the seating chart out (no, we have not started).
A2:If you sent in a contract in the 2009 calendar year, we will send out an e-mail to those that we have received a contract and also those that are on the wait list. Please note: Only certain people are able and allowed to check our mail because so many checks and contracts come through. Because only those people are able to check these things, our response time is limited to the availability of these people.
We are aware that artists would like to produce items for this event specifically and would like to know if they are seated ASAP, but ultimately this event is not established for that purpose. It is to help artists practice their trade, share their creations and improve their work. The items sold should be produced already in the course of a year's work as an artist. This event was established to be a community and not a business proposition.
Please see here for info from 2008. Note that this may change but is overall correct.
