HOW CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN ATTENDING ARTIST?

You will need to contact the artist directly. Typically, their booking information can be found on their website or in their Instagram bio once they have been announced. We recommend following all the artists on social media to stay up to date with that information in real time! We have their social media linked on the ARTIST page!
Some artists book ahead of time, but we also have plenty of artists who do walk ups during the show!
