UPDATE ON ART SHOW PAYMENTS TO ARTISTS

Normally Arisia Art Show payments are seen by artists 4-6 weeks after the convention closes.
For those of you who may not be aware, Art Show sales on Friday had to fall back to paper when our online sales database hosting provider took our database down for maintenance without telling us first. We have all the info but it takes a little longer to collate hundreds of pieces of paper than it does to get the sales figures out of a computer. Payments are being processed and are being sent to artists but, it will take a bit longer than usual to get all of them out. Thank you for your patience.

Arisia Time Machine takes us back to the the blizzard of 2005, which shut down major roads and extended Arisia into Monday (back then it was just a 3-day con).

Arisia Trading Post -- Monday 12:30 PM -- Amesbury Ballroom
Pack up your curios, cast-offs, and cherished oddities and bring them to the Arisia Trading Post! This participant-run market is a place to give away unwanted items, trade collectibles, and swap trinkets in the true spirit of fannish sharing. No money changes hands—just stories, serendipity, and the joy of finding a new home for old treasures.
