E.G. Con Now Accepting Vendor Applications

 

We are excited to invite artists, authors, and creators to share their work as vendors at the library’s first ever E.G. Con! The library’s large meeting room will be a designated vendor space for the event, and people can circulate freely among the vendor tables. Vendors are allowed to sell their items, but the items must be comic and/or fandom related. Vendors will not have to pay a fee for their table space, but should be familiar with the library’s Vendor Selection Criteria for the event.
