General Info
Necronomicon's Art Show features works in many genres. From Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Astronomical, Comedy, Celtic, Anime and others you are sure to find that "perfect something." We also accept 3-D work so jewelry, sculpture, wall hangings, armor, wood carvings, etched glass, and pottery have all found a home here as well.

The Art Show, located in the combined rooms of Harborview, Skyway & Pier, hosts the following two main areas:
• The Art Gallery:This consists of 2,165 sq. ft. of space in which art work can be displayed. We have 6ft. tables available for 3-D work, as well as vertical panels for hanging space. There is a 10% commission charged on all artwork sold; the commission goes entirely to our charity.
• The Print Shop: Located inside the Art Gallery, this area is used to display multiple copies of fixed-price prints and 3-D works. There is also a 10% commission charge on the works sold here and, once again, it all goes directly to our charity.

Art Programming - Throughout the convention we offer various forms of art programming. Here attendees can join artists as they participate in panel discussions, demonstrations of their work, their inspiration, and their technique. Please check out the convention's Home Page in October for more scheduling and panel details.

Awards - Necronomicon offers ribbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in Color, B&W, 3D, and an award for Best in Show. Judging is done by the attendees and winners are announced during the Costume Contest on Saturday night.

Niggling Details - As with anything, there are some rules and "no-nos" for this area.

1. No food, drink, smoking or cameras are allowed in the Art Show area.
2. All packages, backpacks, large bags and cameras will need to be tagged and left at the security desk inside the main entrance.
3. All purchases are subject to Florida State Sales Tax to be paid by the purchaser.
4. A notice to parents and guardians - it is our policy to allow artistic nudity in the pieces hung in the art show. If you have minors with you, we suggest you walk through the show first to see if there are any works you wish to steer young ones away from.
