DesignerCon (DCon), the annual art and design convention, will be taking place on November 18-20, 2022 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Last year DCon returned as a live event going virtual during the pandemic. The event was a little smaller than previous years, as most of the international artists and vendors were not able to attend due to pandemic restrictions and precautions.
This year, the show floor will be packed with art, toys, collectibles, and apparel from 700+ vendors and 300+ artists. There will be a combination of urban, underground, and pop art from the world of design and so much more.
