Comments:

This is a Star Wars Art Con – similar to a small Comic Con only it features Lucasfilm’s #1 selling artist Christopher Clark.  We do these events in different cities once per month and typically have an attendance of around 4000 to 6000 total for the 3 days.  This is a 3 day event: Friday Feb 16th 5:00 to 9:00 (with 5:00 – 8:00 being the busiest times) and Saturday and Sunday Feb 17-18th noon to 6 pm (with 12:30 to 4:30 being the busiest). We invite you for all days of the show.  We give each member who participates a Star Wars print valued at $40 as a gift for our appreciation and 50% off merchandise if they so choose to buy anything. We work with members of the 501st often and we typically do a big introduction to the audience with music and sorts to make a fun impact. See this Youtube video we did with the 501st Dewback Ridge in San Antonio as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL9OcxLIiYk  A private dressing room with bottled water and snacks will be available and a restroom as well.
