Thank you for your interest in the return of San Diego Anime Con! The Featured Artist tables interest list is NOW OPEN!

The return of the San Diego Anime Con will be taking place on Friday, November 21, Saturday, November 22, and Sunday, November 23, 2025, at the Handlery Hotel in San Diego.

The Featured Artist table interest list is now open each spot includes a 6 feet table and two chairs.  This opportunity is for artists to display and sell their art and art related items – not for any general merchandise.  

ALL FEATURED ARITSTS WORK MUST BE ANIME RELATED. If you’re an artist and your work is not anime related, you may sign up as a VENDOR (with the associated Vendor Booth cost). If you have anime related items, but it is not artwork (e.g. figurines, apparel, etc), you may NOT register for a Featured Artist Table – you will have to register as a Vendor.
