What is
Spectrum Fantastic Art Live ?
Spectrum Fantastic Art Live (SFAL) is a high-energy showcase for the best and brightest in the fantasy and science fiction art community. It brings together artists, industry professionals and fans. It's a show for everyone. For artists, both established and aspiring, and fans of art. For people who love movies, video games, tabletop gaming, RPGs, card games and more. For fans of comics, science fiction, fantasy and any genre that has ever had an art component.
There will be booths showcasing the finest artists working today. Multiple disciplines are represented. Exquisite dolls, grotesque mannequins, oil paintings, prints, bronzes, pencil sketches... all forms of art are celebrated.
There will be multiple programming tracks, from topics that affect artists and their creative process to discussions of practical industry concerns, as well as panels on how to start collecting art.
There will be a portfolio review by the leading art directors in multiple industries.
If you make art, you should come. If you love art, you should come. If you're wondering if this is for you, it is. You'll love it.
