We’re elated by the kind words and support from the community wide and far having just passed the 90% mark we've got a couple updates to help us reach our goal and ultimately our Cosplayer Stretch goal!
REWARD UPDATE: $150 Tier
Since we’re near funding we we really want to drive home the fact that if we can make it to $20k we can HIRE cosplayers to work the Magic Art Show. As a added bonus for all the $150 backers and up we’re adding a Cosplayer Happy Hour event on Friday, where you can drink, play cards and mingle with the cosplayers who help out at the event! Along with a small poster of the cosplayers at the show so you can get their signatures!
So don’t forget to upgrade your package and be apart of the show.
Amonkhet Art Reveals:
Here's a couple pieces you can expect at the show. From Randy Gallegos, Aaron Miller, and Scott Murphy!

Farseek by Martina Pilcerova
With 1/3 of the Kickstarter behind us, we are nearly at 66% toward our goal of making this a reality. We are floored.
All of the Artist Dinner Rewards are now claimed.
Due to a life emergency, the backer of the Original Painting Reward had to back out. Life comes first, and we're glad to hear that everything is working out.
That does mean that the Original Painting is available again. The painting comes with the only remaining chair at the Artist Dinner, as well as Pre-Show Access and the Premium Combo Rewards.
Once this Reward Level is claimed, we will be almost 75% funded! Move fast if you're interested.
Speaking of the Artist Dinner, I want to share the latest addition to the table...
Who's coming to dinner? Jason A. Engle!
We are working on getting the last artist lined up, and, if we can get the schedules to work out, I think you'll be very pleased to have a seat at this particular table.
Looking Ahead
The response has been incredible and if you have not been following MJ Scott, MoxyMTG to some, she has been a one-woman PR machine for the art show. As organizer for the cosplayers at Grand Prix Las Vegas, she is our stretch goal.
From new cosplays to subsidizing new cosplayers, our only stretch is sizable but the experience will be doubled in the art show. While we could hire actors, why not just have our own community members get involved within the art show as docents in the space cosplaying? We'll be unveiling more of who we're targeting and you'll have input on what you'll see.
As for the art, Farseek will be joining us. We're trying not to overload the show with too many basic lands, but what are planes without the landscapes that make them real? We'll be announcing which ones are coming the next two Mondays to start your week out with some joy.
Pre-Show Access Rewards Enhancement
While the Magic Artist Dinner is mostly sold out, there are still many Pre-Show Access Rewards available.
We plan on making Wednesday, our opening night, a memorable experience. Not only will we be doing a walk through with each Pre-Show backer, but we're working on even more exciting bonuses for backers at this level.
First Bonus - Every Pre-Show Access Backer and above will receive this Exclusive, Limited Edition Print of Zack Stella's artwork created for this project.
This print will only be available through this Project and at the show itself.
We will be sharing more Bonuses for Pre-Show backers in future updates. If nothing else, we're going to make sure you're getting good #value for your money.
Help Get us to the Finish Line!
Please spread the word, we added some links below if you're unsure what to say but just want others to see!
We are so close, shoot us a note on Twitter to get us over the final hump. We're on @MagicArtShow waiting to hear from you!
We're half way there!

Wow 50% in less that 36 hours! We're really humbled by the support the MTG community has shown our project so far and are excited that the art show is starting to become a reality. From painting announcements brought to you by various mtg outlets, to which cosplayers will be with us in Vegas if we meet our stretch goal. We have some really cool things planned.
So far Zach Stella’s original commissioned painting has been claimed and half of the artist dinner seats have been reserved. If you are hoping to make the artist dinner don’t wait! Snag your seat now. Also, keep an eye out for new dinner guest artists announcements.
Lastly, for all of those who are requesting prints of the commissioned art: We’ve heard you. The Kickstarter has been updated to include a print of Zack’s piece as a $30 add on only item. To add a Print to your Rewards, just increase your pledge by $30 and you'll be all set.
Thanks again for all the love, The Magic Art Show Team Mike, Josh, Rico, Brian
