Born in Ukraine, she obtained her bachelor's degree in interior design before relocating to the USA when she was 21. Shortly thereafter, Nastiya mentored under nationally acclaimed oil painter Christopher Clark. Nastiya's parents, who are also artists, sparked her interest in painting when she was a child and she has been exploring various painting techniques since the age of 10. Nastiya's paintings have been exhibited in galleries, and art shows nationally and internationally and has brought both a wonderfully fun parody and grunge/realistic artistic perspective of characters from anime, Lord of the Rings, Disney, Harry Potter, horror &amp; more. Nastiya has also worked on a number of public art installations in various locations throughout the USA. Nastiya will be attending all 3 days, adding paint highlights/embellishments to canvases purchased at the event at no additional charge.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/a25ca250-f53f-11f0-a308-43728e1d7b7c-rimg-w740-h740-dc312b2c-gmir.jpg Cosplay Contests: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Prizes.

Attendees typically stay for 1-2 hours.WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS DISPLAYING A SIMILAR EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATION? These are all the same event! We are limited in the amount of characters we can type in an event title. Since our event encompasses: Anime, Game, Horror, Marvel, DC, Disney, Star Wars, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter &amp; Lord of the Rings, this is simply too long to put into an event title. To make it easier and in order to reach fans of each theme, we have created separate events for these themes but keep in mind, it is all the same event.THIS EVENT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS A LEGITIMATE EVENT? We encourage you to Google us at "amazing art expo" where you will see many updates, reviews, etc. We have over 51,000 followers on Facebook, 21,000 on Instagram and have been in business since 2016. We have hosted over 100 events during that time.WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? Nastiya Grushovenko will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of her purchased canvasses turning them into one-of-a-kind originals at no charge. This adds $200 value to your canvas!IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, everyone is free to attend and no purchase is necessary. Autographs and paint embellishments by the artist are free.HOW DO I GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE VOICE ACTORS? Autographs may be purchased at the event (voice actor's booth) using cash, credit card or Apple Pay. Last Call for Voice Actor Autographs is Sunday at 3:30 pm. There will be other options as well to upgrade your signature to include larger prints, Funkos, swords, statues, quotes/doodles, voice/video recording, selfies, etc. Those prices will be determined at the event itself. You may bring to the event your own product(s) to be signed including print(s), Funkos, swords, etc. Remember, this is also a pop culture art expo and there will be lots of super cool prints relevant to the voice actor available to purchase at the event. We encourage you to take a look at the art show first before getting in line with the voice actors. If you plan to purchase autographs, we recommend you also purchase a VIP ticket since it allows you 1 hour early access to the voice actors before the doors open to the public, at which time the lines can get lengthy.ARE KIDS ALLOWED?

We do not believe A.I. art is actually art and we stay firm with that decision.IS PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED?
