FLATSTOCK 100
An exhibition of contemporary poster art, presented by The Poster Institute in conjunction with DesignerCon.

Flatstock is an indoor event located within DesignerCon - an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys and designer goods with urban, underground and pop art! DCon is over 300,000 sq. ft. and features over 700 vendors, art & custom shows, live demonstrations, and much more! The show coordinators strive to provide a fun, safe, comfortable environment for fans, artists, and vendors to meet. Join us every November at The Expo at World Market Center in Las Vegas for a weekend of fun, toys, and art!

Who should apply?
Individual artists, studios and collectives. Flatststock strives to connect artists directly to their fans, collectors and clients. For that reason, we do not allow dealers, representatives or other third party entities.
Representing the cultural diversity of our society is important to us and therefore we welcome all applications - regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/belief, disability, age as well as sexual orientation and identity.

What can be sold?
Historically, Flatstock was dedicated to gig posters, our beloved hybrid of fine arts and merchandise. This year we are expanding to allow a larger spectrum of poster art including, but not limited to, film, politics, comedy, theatre, tourism, fine art and more. The focus of each booth should be poster art. While other studio related items like books, t-shirts and decals are permitted, they should not compete or overshadow poster work.

Other Requirements:
All work must be official in some capacity (i.e.; in the case of gig posters - contracted by the band, the promoter or the venue). Works based on unlicensed intellectual property work and fan art are strictly forbidden. All work should be limited edition (typically edition up to 200) and priority will be given to artists that use traditional techniques like screenprinting, letterpress, block printing and other means that involve the "hand of the artist." Images resulting from AI prompts are strictly forbidden.

Fees:
The booth fee for 10x10' space, will be $550 and your place is not guaranteed until that fee is paid. You will receive payment instruction when your application is approved.

Flatstock participants have to be members of "The Poster Institute", the non-profit that created and organizes Flatstock since 2002. The annual fee is $50 USD. The fee will also give you access to the other annual Flatstocks, taking place in Austin, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Mexico City and more!
