Artist Alley

Artist Alley includes the best from all genres. Past exhibitors have included many of today’s leading artists, illustrators and creators of comics, games, graphic novels, and books, showcasing original artwork. 

Located on the Exhibit Floor, included with Exhibit Space:

  • One skirted table
  • Two Chairs
  • Backwall Drape in a carpeted area
  • ID Sign
  • Two Exhibitor Badges 


To participate:

Participants provide ALA with an original piece of donated artwork to be used in the Artist Alley Silent Auction in exchange for a free table exhibit space. All submissions are reviewed and entries will be notified in May. 

The submission deadline was April 20, and the submission site is now closed.

Participants will provide ALA with a framed original piece up to 11" x17" in size of art on canvas or cardstock (by the applying artist) that is library, reading, literacy themed or appropriate in a library setting to be used in the Artist Alley Silent Auction. The Silent Auction raises funds for ALA scholarships and grants. 

Note that there is no table sharing unless the work is a verified collaboration, this will be decided on a case-by-case basis. 

Artist Alley is limited to 30 participants. Those not selected can participate in a paid space consisting of a 6' skirted table in the Artist Alley area for a discounted rate. These additional paid spaces are limited. 

NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE REVIEWED. Art deemed to contain adult material will not be accepted. Submission does not guarantee a table.
