Artist Alley
Opening Times
The Artist Alley will be open during the same time as the Dealers’ Den daily each afternoon from Thursday to Saturday, usually from 12:00 to 18:00 during Eurofurence. The Alley will be set up every day anew shortly before the Den opens so we appreciate every helping hand carrying a table, after that the artists are free to set up their point of sale. Break down will work the other way around shortly after the Den closes. The exact times will be announced in the conbook.
Security will be present but we can’t support the Artist Alley with extra security service. Eurofurence e.V. as the host of the convention cannot be held responsible for any damaged, lost or stolen goods or money, and it is entirely up to you to take reasonable precautions yourself.
How do I register for the Artist Alley?
You can’t! To make it simple: “First come, first serve.”
Everyone, following the rules, can sell their goods there. The Alley holds the capacity of 27 single tables (180x80cm / 71"x31.5") with two chairs each table you can get for yourself or share it with some fellow artists.
What rules did you talk about?
- You must be an attendee of Eurofurence 21 and can be identified with your conbadge, which says you paid the convention fee.
- No reservation: First come, first serve every day!
- No extra security service. But when you see something suspicious or have trouble with one of the customers you can always talk to the Security or the Dealers’ Den team.
- Absolutely NO adult material! This is a public area like the main lobby which must stay “clean” at all costs unless you want to bear the consequences.
- No power supply.
- Anybody with the convention status “Staff” or higher can order you to remove suspicious material, anybody from the Dealers’ Den or the Security Team can ask you to clean your table and leave the Artist Alley.

- Do not block more than one single table for yourself.
- Be polite.
- If there are any problems among the artists please feel free to contact the Dealers’ Den team we are there to help.
Preferred Merchandise
Because we're a furry convention, your goods or services should be of interest to furry fans. Typical items for sale are, for example, (badge) commissions, original furry artwork and prints, CDs and DVDs with artwork and other little items.
Fan Art - that is, art based on TV series, games, or other intellectual property of a third party - can only be displayed and sold subject to some limitations. Ideally, the dealer can provide a legal agreement with the rights holder granting them the right to use the intellectual property in question. Failing this, any use of third-party intellectual property must be within the limits of Fair Use / Free Use or equivalent regulations. In any case, the dealers are responsible that the merchandise they offer does not violate copyright, trade law, or other applicable law. Nevertheless we reserve the right to check your offerings more than once during the convention and may ask you to remove conspicuous material / artwork out of your stock.
