BWPcon

BwPCon! (internally pronounced bwip-con) is an idea that came about in early 2022 after our first few in-person events went well and we saw the local creator community suffering due to a lack of COVID safety precautions being taken by major cons. We love our artist community and we know how important vendor events are, so we wanted a way to support them while also keeping in line with our own standards of safety.

BwPCon! 2022 went amazingly with over 30 local artists showing up to sell their wares and form community. With the success of the event, Books with Pictures is excited to turn our wonderful little mini-con project into an annual event!

BwPCon! is a one day event featuring a wide range of local artists all gathered to show your their stuff! The event is heavily inspired by the Artist Alley halls traditionally found at comic and anime conventions, giving our nerdier friends a chance to gather and support community.

BwPCon! also features live music, special guests, and fun things like a photo booth and face painting! Not to mention our wonderful comic shop in the middle of it all, along with the Short Box food cart pod on the other side of the building.

Want to attend? Then come by on the 8th of July! Absolutely no tickets required. Masks required indoors, and preferred in the vending areas.
