Attention artists!

There is still space available in the inaugural Furnal Equinox Art Show! For the first time, we're offering the opportunity for artists and exhibitors to show off the best of their work to our attendees. They can then bid on it, and potentially take it home with them.

If you're considering applying for the Art Show and haven't yet, here's some things you might want to know:

• We've done everything we can to make the job of selling easy. All you have to do is bring the artwork you want to sell, fill out bid sheets, and remove unsold artwork at the end of the con — we'll do the rest!
• You don't have to be attending the convention to participate! You can designate an agent who will be attending the con who can sell your work on your behalf.
• Furnal Equinox charges no commissions or administration fees on sales. You walk away with all of your sales at the end of the con!

So apply on our website on the Art Show page, but don't delay — online signups will close on February 13, 2013!

Furnal Equinox's Christmas party this Saturday promises great food, great gifts, and good holiday times. That's plenty of reasons to come by 24 Mabelle Avenue in Etobicoke and enjoy a wonderful day with us.

But if you were looking for more reasons, we have them!

Register for Furnal Equinox 2013! You can register at the early bird registration rates at the party (starting at $35, rather than $40 on the website!) We can take cash or credit cards.

Enter our charity raffle! The grand prize this year is a Sony Vaio laptop, upgraded to your specifications. Tickets are $10 each or 3 for $20, and all proceeds go to our charity, the Mississauga Humane Society.

Pick up some Christmas gifts! Pick up a title from Kyell Gold, Blotch, or Rukis from Bookshelf Bear's display -- or if plushies are more your thing, make sure to pick one (or multiple) up from local retailer Critterama!

Don't forget to RSVP to the party and let us know what dish you'll be bringing on the Ontario Furs forum.

Remember, the party starts at noon and runs to 10 pm -- come to 24 Mabelle, buzz 404 at the door, and take the elevator to floor B1.

See you all on Saturday!
