Guest Cancellation: Peter Davison

We regret to inform everyone that, due to professional commitments beyond our control, Peter Davison will not be attending CONsole Room 2017 as originally planned. Believe us when we say nobody is more disappointed than we are, and we are doing what we can to bring you another guest to replace Mr. Davison.

Rest assured that we are continuing to work diligently to provide you with the amazing convention experience that you have been looking forward to, with other amazing guests like Janet Fielding and Gary Russell, new events like our Escape Room and our “Painting with Plasmavores” social paint events, and the fantastic panels, Artist Alley, and Dealers Room that you’ve come to expect from us.

Stay tuned for more updates!

REMINDER: Film Festival Deadline April 21

Our #WhoItYourself campaign is all about celebrating you, the Whovians, and what better way to honor our favorite film success than with a little film of your own? We introduced our first Film Festival this year for that very reason, and the deadline is approaching faster than you can say “Allons-y!”

Remember that you have until April 21 at 11:59PM CDT to submit your entry into our Film Festival. The festival is open to filmmakers of all ages. For more rules and to learn how to enter, visit our Film Festival page. Good luck!

Paint with Plasmavores at Our New Social Painting Events

Introducing our very first social painting events! That’s right, CONsole Room will be offering TWO original Doctor Who-themed painting events at our convention this year.

The best part? No experience is required to participate in our painting events! In each two-hour session, an artist leads you step-by-step through one of our original paintings, teaching you how to recreate the image yourself. Capture your inner Plasmavore and join us for our stand-alone GALLIFREYAN painting on Friday, or come in on Sunday with a friend or family member to paint a MONSTER-themed duo painting. All participants leave after these two-hour sessions with a 16×20 painting that they painted themselves.

Space is very limited in each session, so we encourage you to sign up soon if you’re interested in participating. More information, including images of the paintings you’ll be creating, is coming very soon. Keep an eye on our Painting with Plasmavores page for info and updates.
