PS1 Close • 538 S. Gilbert St.

Vendor lottery applications are open now through January 31. Apply here!

Due to the increasing demand for table space, and how fast the tables  have sold out in the past with our first come/first served table registration, ICE CREAM is switching over to a lottery system for table space. The window for filling out an application for the lottery will begin on Tuesday, January 21, and will end on Friday, January 31. There will be no fee to apply for the lottery. On Saturday, February 1, we will pull names out of a hat for assigning table space and contact all applicants via email. Those selected will be asked to pay their table fee ($10 for a half-table) to reserve their spot. ICE CREAM is primarily a comic, zine, and art book fest, so we ask that artists have at least half their table space dedicated to comics, zines, and/or art books.
