Our Indiegogo Campaign is Live!

Help us turn this into a truly great escape by joining our Indiegogo campaign at http://www.indiegogo.com/faerieescape?a=261464#. Conventions like Faerie Escape: Atlanta require a lot in the way of resources, and we’ve always had to operate on the tightest of budgets. This year we are looking to bring in more great guests, but we need the means to bring them to the Escape. Two-thirds of the money raised in this campaign will go to bringing in the type of speakers and artists you want to see, while the rest goes to making the experience even more magical.

In addition, this is a great chance for you to get some beautiful and unique perks. Want a feast at the Escape with IK, King of the Trolls? Your own custom-made faerie costume, developed by our own master crafters? Or, best of all, giant original drawings done by legendary artist Charles Vess at our first Faerie Escape. Check out the videos of him drawing while Ari Berk spins great tales, and get a full DVD of the session to go with the art.

Yes, we have done a lot in the past with just a little. Now help us show how much we can do with a little more … and spread the word!
