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. Read the post-OAX 2026 press release with show stats HERE.

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. OAX 2027 will bring together a minimum of 90 prominent artists alongside more than 60 art dealers, artist reps, auction houses, and related groups with the goal of making OAX the most anticipated and largest new art drop event of the year. OAX has sold out of VIP tickets each year, with year three bringing together more than 1000 people over the weekend.

The Friday event day kicks into full swing with an exclusive VIP Only Attendee Full Show Preview from 1:00-5:00pm EST on the OAX exhibition floor with nearly all Artists, Art Dealers, and Exhibitors set up. This Preview will be limited to only those Attendees with Weekend VIP badges. Following the Friday VIP Preview, a VIP Cocktail Party and Drink & Draw & Fundraiser will be held in the outdoor pavilion from 6-9pm EST. The Friday evening outdoor event includes an open bar and stage, where several Artists will create artworks that Attendees can purchase, with select pieces going to charities. For those wishing to get food during the VIP Cocktail Party, multiple onsite options to purchase food will be available including the hotel restaurant, hotel bar, and a food truck. Many restaurants are within walking distance to get food before, during, or after the Cocktail Party. There will be more announcements about the show to come, so please sign up for the OAX Newsletter.
