Some of the best Lovecraftian artists working in the field today will have 90 minutes to create a masterpiece based on a theme suggested by the audience. Last year's theme was "Shoggoth Circus" and Lee Moyer, Nick Gucker, and Mike Dubisch raced to complete images of both horror and hilarity. Attend this fascinating event to help choose this year's theme and watch the process of creation right on the stage.

The audience will judge the winner of the competition, and all pieces of art created will be auctioned off to festival attendees, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Animal Aid, Inc.
