Dealers' Den Rules —
What is a furry convention without a Dealers' Den! Whether you are an up-and-coming artist or a returning veteran, all are welcome to apply!
As anyone who has visited Furlandia will know, our Dealers' Den is one of the highlights of the convention. As always, the success of the Dealers' Den relies on our exhibitors, be they traditional or digital artists, fursuit makers, or authors, to name a few!
Why Should You Apply For Dealers' Den at Furlandia?
First and foremost, you'll get a chance to share and sell your creations with the community in a friendly and welcoming environment. Situated in an easy-to-find location within convention space, our Dealers' Den has plenty of foot traffic throughout the con, giving you a chance to network, promote commission slots, and of course, meet other creators too!
In addition, dealers will be mentioned in our con book and on our website, with links to your own website or social media profiles.
Table Sizes
Because there are so many different types of creators who want to exhibit at Furlandia in the Dealers' Den, we offer two different sizes of table to cater to everyone's budgets and needs, with a third option specifically aimed towards commissions only.
- Half Table: (3 x 2.5 ft)
- Full Table: (6 x 2.5 ft)
- Foyer Half Table: (3 x 2.5 ft)
Table sizes are limited based on the number of applicants and the preferences of the dealers applying to be part of the Dealers' Den. Space is limited (we can't make the hotel bigger) so be sure to apply as early as possible for a Dealers' Den table.
There are 6 half tables and 5 foyer half tables available for 2019. The foyer half tables are in the Dealers Den foyer area, next to the Con Store and our Charity table, and are targeted specifically toward commission artists/vendors who don't need space for product/inventory. There are 26 full tables in the Dealers Den.
