programming highlights -- fanart portfolios
Last week, we highlighted a few of our roundtables in The North Star. Today, we'd like to highlight several fanart portfolios. These portfolios allow artists to share more pieces than they might be able to in the gallery as well as to share the stories behind their art. This is the first time we've had fanart portfolios as part of our programming, so we hope you'll enjoy them! All of the portfolios below will be presented on Artists and Authors Night, which is Saturday, August 9.

Rana Raeuchle
This portfolio, created with watercolors, pencils and ballpoint pens, features “cover art” for fanfics, character studies, and watercolor portraits of a few favorite characters.

Generalmanda, Renee L. Antoine
Many fans have created fascinating, detailed costumes inspired by the Harry Potter books and films. This living art portfolio will feature wizarding attire. Cameras are welcome! If you have a costume that you’ve created that you want to show off, please meet us at PDR 1 at 10:30 p.m. to join the portfolio.

Shae Merritt
This portfolio includes a collection of Harry Potter-themed purses and bags created with electrical tape.
