The next planning meeting is on May 21st, 3-5:00PM, at Anderson Branch Library in Lincoln NE (3635 Touzalin Avenue). 

If you would like to help with the next ConStellation, or want to get a feel for what goes into putting on a convention, you are welcome to attend.  These planning meetings are open to the public.

We will be discussing how things went at ConStellation 12, and brainstorming what we might want to try for ConStellation 13.  We will also be discussing positions in the convention and what roles we would like to find additional help with.

Hi, I'm Diane Taurins. I don’t do art as a full-time job, but I have a wonderful studio at home, and I’m always thinking of ideas and imagining pieces I’d like to do.

I do pieces primarily for myself. I make things that I’d want to hang on my own walls at home. If someone else likes them and wants to buy them, that’s a bonus. It's fun to see photos of my artwork on other people's walls.

Reserve your hotel room for the convention!

We are once again at the Cornhusker Marriott hotel.  Standard rooms are $115/night under the convention rate.

If you have not yet reserved a room, click the link above or contact us and we will get you the in contact with an individual at the hotel that can help you with your reservation under the room block.

Sarah has been attending science fiction conventions since the late seventies. The artwork she most enjoys creating are those connected with the fantastic and she is gratified at the response of con-goers to her award-winning paintings of Magnus & Loki, the cat and dragon companions, which have been the most fun of all her fantastic creations. Sarah works in a photo-real style, mostly in oils.
