You really have no idea what kind of hidden treasures you might find in Artist Alley. Great hair ruled the land and a barber could depose a king. Another comic was based on a society ruled by hairdressers and barbers. One of my favourite booths was a comic about a Flash Gordon-esque pig: Spacepig Hamadeus (by Donovan Yaciuk). There were people doing commissions, selling homemade pillows and bowties, arts prints, folks doing on-site tattoos, and creators selling comics based on their original creations. These creator guests outlined the hall of the artist alley.
This year the Artist Alley was confined to the Big Four and it was probably the best lineup of comic creators the Expo has ever had: Jim Lee, Neal Adams, Rob Liefeld, Meredith Finch, Amanda Conner, Jim Zub, Ray Fawkes, Jody Houser, Ty Templeton, Dan Parent, and many more. The Calgary Expo would put some big name celebrities in the Big Four to draw fans in and drive them past these artists, and vendors. Some ended up mixed in with vendors in the Big Four. In years past, the Calgary Expo had the Artist Alley in the BMO Center near the vendors, but not all artists would be included there.

In previous years, Photo Ops were held in a different area every year like the Expo didn’t know where to have them.

All of the vendors, film and TV celebrities, and most of the panels are held in the BMO Center, while the Corral holds the most anticipated panels (The Hall H of Calgary Expo, so to speak).
Calgar y Expo takes place in three of the buildings: The BMO Centre, the Corral, and the Big Four, with the majority of the Expo being held in the BMO Center. The Calgary Expo takes place in Stampede Park in the core of the city, which is made up of the BMO Center, the Stampede Corral Arena, the Scotiabank Saddledome, the Big Four Building, the Grandstand, and many more. But one of the biggest changes for the Calgary Expo was the rearranging of the show floor. They added some new panels never seen before in Calgary, and even had an evening with some of the cast of Back to the Future. The union of the two convention companies has not only led to the Calgary Expo hosting more big name celebrities like Jason Momoa and Anthony Daniels, but also more famous comic creators like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld. Last weekend was the first Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo as part of the Fan Expo family.
