The CopperCon 25 Art Show will feature hundreds of items of science fiction and fantasy art available via bidding and direct sale. If you've never bid on art at a convention before and would like more information, just stop by the desk in the Art Show and ask. Our friendly staff will be happy to explain everything. This year we will be featuring a print shop-an area for artists to sell multiple prints of some of their more popular work. Come in and purchase some of your favorite prints.
The Art Auction will be held at 1 PM on Sunday, check the pocket program for location. Pieces with three or more bids will go to the voice auction and buyer pickup will be after the auction.
We will accept Visa and MasterCard as well as cash and checks. Come in early and often to feast your eyes on all the wonderful work presented by our artist friends. We're looking forward to seeing you there!
