| We are in the same hotel as last year, which means a nice space, lots of light, and we are continuing with the “Adult” area. Having this area means there are more rules than you would normally see, but they are to make sure everyone has a good art show.
All the documents you will need to join us are available on this web site in PDF form. If you have any problems downloading or reading any of the documents, don’t hesitate to contact me at art-show@rustycon.com, and I can try to convert to another format for you.
There is lots of room. Please join us! There is no show without your art!

ART NOT COLLECTED AND PAID FOR AT CON
Any artwork legally bid for but not collected and paid for by the buyer will be retained by the Director.

If we are unable to complete the sale within three months, the art will be returned to the artist.
