Before you book
Public exhibition admission is free Friday through Sunday. Thursday is a VIP opening, separately distinguished from the public visiting dates.
Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Choose your collecting priorities
Decide whether you want original work, prints, materials, tools or demonstrations. Note the sizes and spaces you are buying for, and bring photographs or measurements when they will help an exhibitor understand your needs.
Ask about the work and its care
Ask the maker about materials, process, edition information and care instructions. Confirm what is included with a purchase, how fragile work will be packed and whether delivery is available. Ask permission before photographing artwork.
Build time around demonstrations
Check the organizer’s schedule for classes or demonstrations and whether they require separate registration or materials. Leave enough time to revisit an artist after viewing the rest of the floor.
Getting there and moving around
Your listed destination is Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL. Confirm the correct building, entrance, parking, public transport and accessibility arrangements with the venue and organizer. Large venues may host several unrelated events on the same day. Allow time for check-in and walking from the entrance to your first stop.

- Keep your admission confirmation and any required identification available.
- Check the organizer’s current opening hours and pass-specific entry.
- Review bag, personal-item, photography and re-entry rules.
- Save the program or floor plan and choose your first three priorities.
- Plan transport home and keep notes for useful follow-up.
