Taidekujahaku 2026
An artist alley will be included in Yureicon’s 2026 program, which can be found in Dipoli’s (Otakaari 24, 02150 Espoo) Capitolium area during the whole weekend! The artist alley’s opening and closing hours will be announced at a later date.
The artist alley applications will open on 25.4.2026 at 12:00, and close on 16.5.2026 at 23:59.
Link to the application form
There will be one-day and two-day tables available at Yureicon this year.
The table prices are 55€ from Saturday tables, 45€ from Sunday tables, and 80€ from two-day tables. The price includes the ticket, table, and max. 2 chairs. The table sizes are 80cm x 140cm.
We will mainly be selecting artists whose products are suitable for the convention’s horror theme, but we will also try to select artists whose catalogues are as broad as possible. We will happily take first-timers to apply for the artist alley as well!
Please read the instructions carefully before sending in your application.
If there are any problems with the application form, be in contact with the person in charge of the artist alley via email rapukori@yureicon.fi. Other things such as possible cancellations or other worries or questions about the artist alley table or application go to the same email.
Taidekujasäännöt & Hakeminen
Artist Alley Rules
Things that are allowed at Yureicon’s artist alley:
- Horror-themed products.
- R-18 products. Please still be aware of the comfortability of other people at the event.
- Original works and fanart.
- Prints, paintings, stickers, charms, button pins, other handicrafts, etc. As long as everything is self-made.
Things that are NOT allowed at Yureicon’s artist alley:
- Pictures or products made with generative AI cannot be in the portfolio OR at the artist alley. AI is in no way allowed at Yureicon.
- Traced or copied works, or otherwise someone else’s art. Everything that is available at the artist alley has to be the artist’s own work.
- Businesses. Please apply to the vendor hall instead.
Applying
The application is available on Google Forms in which you will apply with a portfolio. One artist alley table can be shared between two artists, so if you apply together, make a shared portfolio and apply together!
In the Forms, we ask for a small introductory text as well as a logo, which represents the artist’s brand. In the introductory text, you can tell us for example about what you do and what products you make. The logo can be anything, as long as it tells the reader something about the artist. A self-made drawing of a character or a proper logo are both good!
Portfolio
Please prepare a portfolio for the application. A PDF file or a website that’s been made specifically for a portfolio both work well. Make sure the portfolio is easy to read and to go through. As an example, the website ‘Carrd’ works well for a small portfolio. PDF files can be shared through a cloud service like Google Drive.
A social media link does NOT work as a portfolio.
It’s good to have these things in your portfolio:
- A short introductory text about yourself/your products.
- Pictures of your products (max. 8 pictures, but if you are applying as a group of two, max. 16 pictures) and a possible picture of your artist alley table setup if one is available. Please note that the table picture is not counted in with the product pictures.
If you have products that are part of an obvious series (ex. stickers or button pins that have been made with the same idea in mind), they can be put in the same picture.
Please make sure that all of the pictures are showing and are large enough to see clearly, as well as that the link works before you send in your application!
Good luck to all applicants!
