The 4th annual Original Art Expo (OAX) is being held in Orlando, Florida on March 19-21, 2027 at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Studios.

OAX is the premier narrative art-focused event in the world that exclusively showcases original comic book, illustration, animation, collector card, comic strip, game, and other visual storytelling art. The show is an intimate, intense, and immersive three-day art fair and trade show hybrid focused entirely on this emerging and important art collecting category.

OAX has been designed from the ground up to celebrate the attending artists while also honoring the critical role, knowledge, and passion of art collectors. A minimum of 90 prominent artists will be exhibiting along with over 60 art dealers, artist reps, auction houses, and related groups.
