You can learn a lot of things from the flowers… Huh! Seems to me they could learn a few things about manners! — Alice

Consider yourself an artist? Want to strut your stuff? Fancy making a bit of cash from your talents?
If you’re coming to ConFuzzled, we’ll have space available where you can show off what you can do – be it drawn, digital, photographic or sculpted. If you’re eager to make a sale, put some of your work in the art show – either for charity or for profit.

Pre-Registration is now closed!

We accept last-minute submissions at the Art Show Submission event at the con, as space permits.

How big is the Art Show room?

This year’s auction space is approximately 273 sq. m (2939 sq. ft.) minus a few pillars, providing us with ample space and plenty of room to show off the fantastic creations submitted for the art show by the community.

How do I get my art in the Art Show?

Please pre-register all your art items for the ConFuzzled Art Show. When pre-registration opens, it will be announced in the ConFuzzled newsletter and on this website. It will close just over a week before the con. We also accept submissions on the day of the con, but these are subject to space restrictions, so please pre-register as much as you can.

At the con, bring your work to the Art Show during the Art Submission event (see schedule). No art items will be accepted after this event.

Please read the list of Prohibited Items. These rules apply to the Art Show as well as the Dealer’s Den. To have your art items displayed in the Art Show, you must agree to the following Terms and Conditions. We will ask you to sign this agreement at the con when you submit your items.

As part of the general ConFuzzled attendee Terms and Conditions, if you bid on an item in the art show, you abide by the Quite Lovely Rules.

Live Auction

The art pieces that go to live auction will be marked as such in the art show right up until the art show closes, so check often on the pieces you have bid on. At the live auction, you’ll have the chance to pick up some fantastic art work and other items, and maybe even some hotel property that’s been graffitied on by our Guest of Honour, while at the same time raising money for charity.

Please note that Art Pickup & Artist Payout will be in the Dealers’ Den.

If you are unable to attend any of the required events or if you want to send another person in your stead, please contact the Auction Staff by email (see below) using the same email address you registered for the con, or talk to us at the convention. We will NOT hand over your art or your money to your boyfriend/girlfriend/roommate/random stranger unless you have informed us in advance.

Payment Information

Payment can be made by Cash or Card. Cash payments will be prioritised and the process will be faster, so bring cash!

If you are a non-artist attendee and you have bought an art piece either in the Art Show or at the Auction, you MUST collect it during the Art Pickup event (see schedule).

Artist Payout

If you are an artist, you MUST collect your unsold art during the Unsold Art Pickup event, and you must collect your payment for sold art pieces during the Artist Payout event (see schedule). Please note that we will not pay out amounts over 250GBP in cash; you will be paid by bank transfer instead. This is because the people who buy your art have the convenience of being able to pay by card, which means they can bid on your art without worrying about finding the cash for it in time for pickup.
