Hot Swap Artists & Crafters

So, what is ‘Hot Swap’?

Good question!

We will be setting aside an area in our Vendor Hall for artists to sell their arts and crafts, with restrictions on what can and cannot be sold, similar to but also very different from Furry Fiesta’s Artist Alley.

 

How does it work?

Just walk into the Vendor Hall, go to the Operations desk, and say ‘Hi, I’d like to sign up to Hot Swap’. We either give you a form to fill out, or if you fill out the form below, we’ll have one pre-printed for you to sign.

Then, if there’s a free spot you can sit down and work! That’s it! When you’re done, you pack up and go on your merry way.

 

What is the price?

Free!

What can I sell?

This area is intended for artists and crafters. Goods should be art in various forms, be it from drawings to chainmail. Our definition of art is very, VERY broad, and encompasses nearly any creative avenue you can think of, including music.

These should be goods that you, yourself, have created. Some items produced by third parties is allowed, i.e. t-shirts and enamel pins, but see restrictions below.

What Can’t I Sell?

In addition to all items listed as restrictions on the Vendor Page:

• Books/Manga/Comics (unless you authored/drew them)
• Plushes or Stuffed Animals from 3rd parties; these should be hand made.
• If you didn’t make it, don’t sell it.

Special Note: 3D Printed Items

3D printed items are not appropriate for this area, with the exception of:

• Original Designs
• Printed items that have been painted/customized. These will be considered the same as painted figurines e.g. Warhammer 20K.
  
  NOTE: ‘Customizing’ does not include basic swapping of filament/colors. If you have performed complex multi material printing, and you’d like clearance on if this is allowed, please email examples to dealers@furrysiesta.org

To sell 3D printed items you MUST have a commercial license from the pattern creator.
