Otakon's official Artist Alley page lists the 2026 convention for July 31-August 2 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and describes Artist Alley as a Hall A gathering of artists, illustrators, writers, and craftspeople. The just-ended weekend makes this a useful moment to sort personal photos, artist notes, badge details, and color memories while they are still fresh.

Short Answer

Build a convention memory layout from photos you took, your own badge-day details, city and venue images, outfit textures, and notes about artists you want to remember. Do not reproduce vendor artwork, protected characters, panel screens, logos, or promotional images without permission.

Why Artist Alley Creates A Distinct Visual Rhythm

Artist Alley mixes table signs, portfolios, prints, pins, handmade objects, sketchbooks, badges, lanyards, and crowded aisle views. A personal recap works best when it records your path through that environment instead of presenting someone else's art as decoration.

Convention Photo Layout Ideas

Try a three-part badge-day sequence, a color-coded hall diary, a page of texture details, or a city-and-venue opener followed by your own written notes. When an artist permits a photograph, keep the creator credit with the image and respect any no-photo request.
