Welcome!
You've received this link because we like you and think your work would be a great fit for this exhibit.
In our perfect world, we would love to visit every artist in person to select artwork -- but we're working with many different artists, and have decided to use a webform to help us keep all the information organized. Thanks for being patient with this process, and with us!
We're asking each artist to submit up to five pieces for consideration for this exhibit. Curatorial decisions will be based on the quality of the work, how well it fits the theme, and the needs and limitations of our display spaces (more on that below.) We'll be getting back to everyone on or before December 22 with final decisions.
Got questions along the way? Want to recommend another artist whose work we should consider? Please send Sarah Jane an e-mail (sarahjane@pafac.org) and we'll do our best to help you out. :)

Our Vision
Reclaiming the once-perjorative term “nerd” to mean anyone who obsesses over created content, we’re taking a glimpse into the artistic side of nerd culture and our innate desire to expand upon the creative content we love. With artwork ranging from literary illustration to comics to game design, this exhibit celebrates the irrepressible creativity and playfulness of nerd culture in the Northwest.
