---
This year Comic and Pop Artist Alley is proud to announce the first annual Dragon Con Kids Sketch Book program! This program allows kids (12 and under) to get free sketches and/or autographs from participating artists and creators. The sketch books will be given out at the front entrance of Comic and Pop Artist Alley. Swing by the check-in table and ask one of our friendly volunteers for one and you’re on your way! Once in hand, kids can explore Artist Alley looking for tent cards located on artists' and creators' tables that match the logo on the front of their sketch books. When your child spots the logo, they are welcome to approach the artist or creator and ask them for a free quick sketch and/or autograph. We’re really excited about the program and hope your kids will be too. So, come on over to the AmericasMart (Building 2) and look for Comic and Pop Artist Alley on the 4th floor! We look forward to seeing you!

Please note, there is a limit of one sketch book per child to ensure that the maximum number of kids can participate in the program.
