Artist Back Alley Resources Blog

This collaboration is all about supporting new and emerging artists, which is exactly what the SMASH! Chibi event is for. SMASH! has a surprise for fans and artists this time: a trip down memory lane at the long-time beloved Rosehill Gardens venue, and a second taste of SMASH! in 2025. We believe setting up your first, or third, artist alley table should be fun and easy, not a puzzle. That's why we build lightweight, portable, modular booth kits that help you make your stand (literally) and help your work stand out. This partnership is our way of helping you smash your convention goals in comfort.
