Art Harvest will be the first ever convention hosted by ISG, and we have selected 33 of our talented illustrators to sell their work. They will be selling prints, stickers, zines, comics, buttons, and so much more!
In addition to our artists we will have activities for the whole family to enjoy! There will be live portrait drawings, a kid's coloring booth, as well as live music played by Columbia musicians and bands. We will also be selling baked goods, with gluten free and vegan options.
We hope to see you there, bring your family, friends, neighbors, and everyone else you know to support our artists and have a fun afternoon!
