    Oh no, it happened again... It’s been a long con for Haida! At least he looks happier about the whole situation this time around! @BenjaminDiskin

    It's with a heavy heart that we have to announce that we're cancelling AC 2020. Without an end in sight for the COVID-19 crisis it's not safe or responsible of us to hold the con. All the info we have is at this link. anthrocon.org/covid19-cancel…

    We're aware of reports involving our law enforcement partners using unnecessary aggression when clearing the con space. We are truly sorry that this happened. There is no excuse as they were instructed to exercise courtesy with our group. We deeply regret that was not the case.

    While we know stickers are popular in our community, we ask our community to help clean them off all city and building surfaces and structures. We'd like to not pay huge cleaning bills and keep the city clean! ❤️

    We know everyone wants to enjoy the festivities, but please don't make a mess of the city. We want to be respectful guests and have a home here in the future. Please pick up after yourselves. Thank you to the volunteers that helped clean litter this morning! #Anthrocon #AC2025

    After hearing our attendees and artists loud and clear, we have revisited the Art Show policy to bring it in line with the feedback we’ve received. Our update can be found attached. We want to be clear: AI-generated artwork is NOT supported nor allowed at Anthrocon.
    A screenshot of the updated Anthrocon Art Show policy regarding AI-generated artwork. Are AI-generated images allowed? All entries must be your own work. Images generated by artificial intelligence engines such as DALL–E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion may NOT be entered in the Art Show, because you did not create them yourself. For questions on the use of AI-based tools, such as those in Photoshop or available online, please contact the Art Show Director for further guidance.

    📝 REGARDING ART SHOW POLICY We hear everyone's legitimate concerns. Our Art Show team is working on revising the policy's language. Our intent was NEVER to endorse AI art as acceptable. We apologize for the misunderstanding - please allow our team some time today to revise.

    Please see the following statement regarding an individual that was seen in this year's Fursuit Parade. Anthrocon strives to be a positive and supportive member of our furry community, and we we want our attendees to know that we hear them and take their concerns seriously.
    Anthrocon was made aware of a controversial individual who participated in the Fursuit Parade on July 5th, 2025. After careful review with our team members, we believe that this individual specifically and intentionally circumvented our Event and Safety measures (including costume review) with the intention of causing a scene and disruption. We want to reassure the members of our community that this individual  is not allowed membership at Anthrocon now or in the future. Given the urgent and sensitive nature of the individual's actions, we took special exception to our policy of not discussing bans or banned individuals as we want our attendees to know that we hear them and take their concerns seriously.

Anthrocon strives to be a positive and supportive member of our furry community. The Anthrocon staff and venue partners want to thank everyone for their patience and information as we endeavor to host the best furry event that we possibly can. Sincerely, Anthrocon, Inc.
