Featured Artist Registration

Thank you for your interest in the inaugural AniPop! The Featured Artist tables interest list is now closed! The debut of AniPop will be taking place on Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido!

Each spot includes a 6 feet table and two chairs. This opportunity is for artists to display and sell their art and art related items – not for any general merchandise.

ALL FEATURED ARITSTS WORK MUST BE ANIME RELATED.  If you’re an artist and your work is not anime related, you may sign up as a VENDOR (with the associated Vendor Booth cost). If you have anime related items, but it is not artwork (e.g. figurines, apparel, etc), you may NOT register for a Featured Artist Table – you will have to register as a Vendor.
