Artist Alley Returns with NEW Makerspace

QuakeCon's Artist Alley is back, celebrating the incredible creativity of the gaming community. We're inviting artists, illustrators, crafters, and creators to showcase and sell their original work to thousands of passionate fans. New this year, we're introducing a hands-on Makerspace, an interactive area where artists can host creative workshops and classes for attendees. Whether it's crafting, design, DIY projects, or game-inspired art sessions, we want fans to learn directly from talented creators. Artists interested in exhibiting or leading a class in the Makerspace can apply now using the official signup link. Space is limited, and we're excited to spotlight creators who want to share both their art and their skills with the QuakeCon community.
