LightBox Expo (LBX) is the ultimate gathering of artists who work in the entertainment industry bringing your favorite films, animation, games, TV shows and illustrations to life. At LBX, we aim to ignite your passion, fuel your imagination, and propel you to new artistic heights!
LBX provides a vibrant space for artists to congregate, meet and celebrate their craft with fellow creatives. It's a place for artists to share their work with the public, further their skills in their respective industries, and make meaningful connections that will help artists thrive in the entertainment industry.
We offer hundreds of programs, interviews, hands-on experiences, presentations, demos and more to help you take your art to the next level, learning from the very best in their fields. We also offer free portfolio events via a lottery system so that everyone has an equal chance to sign up and get their artwork reviewed by a professional. It's a chance to learn how you can take your talent to the next level from the best in the business.
Discover a whole new world of artistic talent as you explore our sprawling artist alley, home to over 300 exhibiting artists for you to discover, shop from and connect with. We believe in fostering a healthy and diverse environment that showcases artists and their work, so to keep the creative landscape fresh and supportive of emerging talent, we curate our event to ensure that less than 20% of participants had a table in the previous year. This means you’ll always encounter fresh faces and new talent to engage with.
In addition, our show floor includes over 100 exhibitors from top companies, schools, and studios worldwide. The opportunities for networking and making industry connections are virtually endless!
Above all, LBX is a home for artists. It's a place to learn, connect, grow and gain the tools to ultimately thrive as an artist in the entertainment industry. We hope you can join us!
