Welcome!
Join us on February 29th to March 2nd at the MarsCon Art Show! All science-fiction/fantasy artists are invited!

Press Play to Start...
MarsCon 2008 finds the Art Show and Auction starting over with a new staff, but in the same hotel as last year. As scary as that sounds, many of the staffers bring the experience of running art shows and auctions over the years at one or more regional conventions. We would like to thank those whose shoes we step into for this year’s Con, and we hope to be able to measure up to MarsCon Art Shows from years past.

Display Space Reservations
We’re asking all artists to reserve their display space again this year. To reserve your panel or table space now, please send us an e-mail at art09b@marscon.org .

The Display Room
This year our annual hotel relocation has brought us back to the Holiday Inn Select in Bloomington, Minnesota. Sound familiar? It should—that’s where we were for 2006 and 2007! We’ll be in the Empire Room again this year, breaking all old traditions.

The MarsCon Artists’ Reception
9:00 PM Friday, February 29th
We are continuing this great tradition! All artists and fans of the Art Show are invited to join us for a lovely, relaxed evening with all the resident local artists who contribute to our Art Show. There will be no formal tour, just a chance to spend time perusing the show, enjoying the artwork and art-talk. This is a great opportunity for fans of science-fiction/fantasy art to meet some of the artists and for the artists to meet their most loyal patrons.

If you didn’t participate in MarsCon 2007 but plan to in 2008, you can still get on our mailing list. If you would like the forms mailed to you, please send a request with your mailing address to art09b@marscon.org .
