None of the animals you see at our event were killed for the sake of art or collecting for the O&C Expo. All of our vendors are required to source sustainably. This can come from a variety of sources including: vet clinics, farms, sanctuaries, road kill, foraging, antique/vintage auctions and more.
Instead of being discarded, our vendors give these animals another purpose in the afterlife - whether its beauty is preserved in a jar, becomes a taxidermy mount, or used in an art piece.

If you already have tickets, you will receive information via email or can check our website for your cities tab at the top of the page.
