Important information:
- Table space, chairs, and tablecloths are provided but feel free to bring your own tablecloth.
- This is a request form not a contract. This form does not guarantee a space at Beaches Library Comic Fest.
- Attendance to the event is free, anyone is welcome to come.
- WiFi in the building is free.
- Tables must be staffed by at least one person at all times. According to our Code of Conduct, the Library will not be held responsible for any unattended items.
- All artists, helpers, and attendees must follow the Library's Code of Conduct.
- We want to celebrate fans and their artistry. Any art sold must be original art. Fan-created artwork that is clearly based on (or very similar to) existing copyrighted artwork cannot be sold at this event; it is considered an unauthorized “derivative work” or an unauthorized reproduction (by substantial similarity) and therefore infringes the original copyright holder’s rights under 17 U.S.C. § 106. To be considered transformative (and therefore protected under Fair Use), fan art must add something new and different to the original work. Fair Use allows for the limited use of copyrighted material for the purpose of criticism, commentary, or parody. Art that is traced, copied, or AI-made will also be asked to be removed from the show.
- This is an all-ages show. Do not openly display any 18+ material or merchandise. Anything above a PG-13 rating should be covered, clearly marked as such, and accessible only with assistance.
- The artist bears all responsibility and risk for the items brought for sale to Beaches Library Comic Fest.
