FISHBOWL FEST 2027 | July 2026 Newsletter


Hi everyone! Goldfish here!


Thanks again for sharing your interest in Fishbowl Fest 2027 and joining the email list! 

In just the first week of promoting the event, between @runawaygoldfish and the @fishbowl.fest account, it has received about 2000 views, over 400 shares, over 70 likes and has had an outreach as far as New York! I know in comparison to most flagship conventions, that isn’t much but for a localized convention in its first year and were still a year out, I am stunned! I’m feeling so grateful and excited to have you be a part of this and I am that much more determined to put added focus on our community, celebrate its diversity and support the work of our local artists.

With that said, I’ll be doing monthly updates which may increase in frequency as we get closer to the event. So without further ado, our first update! Down below are a list of things to keep a look out for:



Did you know you can get 34% off of your ticket? (Yes this includes VIPs)


In case you missed it, last week, I launched the website live on Twitch and broke it down in more detail one section at a time. Somewhere in the video, I also share a discount code which will be available until the end of the month. You can view the video below but you can also view it on Twitch in the videos tab at twitch.tv/goldfishglub (titled, “Fishbowl Fest 2027”).

Sponsor packets will be available soon!


Expect the sponsor page to be available during the next livestrea. Benefits include advertising on the website, social media shout outs, VIP privileges, advertising on posters, your logo projected onto large projector screens in all the major spaces of the event, a table at our event and more! If you know someone who maybe interested in becoming a year one sponsor, please send them our way! Or make sure they sign up for the email list here.



Looking to vend at the event? 


Because this is our first year, our space is very limited which means we can only allow a certain number of vendors to table. But as a vendor myself, I understand how competitive it can be and I want to make sure that you are set up for success regardless of your experience or follower count. So here are some things to consider to help increase your chances of being accepted.


  1. Spirit

    What is the spirit of your art? Or in other words, what factors tie your work together? What unique qualites does your art have that brings joy/inspiration to yourself and your audience?


  2. Heart

    Where does the heart of your work lie? What kind of messaging do you like to express through your art?


  3. Body of Work

    For newer artists your body of work might not be large but is it specific? If you have many examples, is there a theme? Who is your audience? Do you use a medium that honors the heart of this convention? Are you willing to make new pieces/items for the convention?


  4. Aesthetics

    Do you have a defined aesthetic to your booth and does it coincide or add to the vibe of the event? You dont have to have a bunch of bells and whistles but are displays at the very least clean and clear?


  5. Products

    Not only are we looking for variety but we are also looking for products that honor the heart of the event. We are looking for items that are both eco-friendly but also allow folks to express their favorite fandoms. This can range from upcycled fabric goods, wooden keychains, items made from recycled plastic and more! We will also be looking for progress photos to make sure all art entering into the artist alley is genuine. 


  6. Commitment

    This convention is intended to add to and maybe reshape possibilities of the community. So we are looking for artists who are willing to help pave the path or at the very least, be open to something new. If you as a business have ecofriendly products or practice, we want you to be able to stand by that proudly.


Current Projected Timeline

As of right now, the projected release of vendor applications will be in October and will close in December. I hope this will give you ample time to plan. Upon acceptance of the application, participants must have payment completed by December 31st. We are still working out floor plan details so that we can better calculate the cost of each table. Ideally I’d like to include as many artists as possible without compromising accessibility in the walk ways. I hope that these small seeds will help better prepare you for what’s to come!


Thanks for swimming thru! Stay tuned for the August 2026 Newletter!
