           We did it & We did it well! Southwest Arts Center and THE NEW ART ORDER!

           With 25 vending tables strong, presenting industry pros and novice in comics, gaming, film, illustration, concept Art, and all related genres, we brought something fresh to ATLANTA! And we did it in style! Our message and mission of supporting African Diaspora focused visions in Popular Arts is clear and it was embraced by diverse cultures! We have given Atlanta a treat that stands out amongst all other  Popular Arts Media Conventions.

             With an eye on details, there were many areas that would need improvement if this event is to continue to grow and be a huge success. I recognize and have already began reform on these concerns. None the less I am proud of my vision coming to fruition, my family /friends,  and my committee team. I am proud and grateful of Southwest Arts Center and its entire staff! I am aware that talks of future events have been proposed.  I look forward to reorganizing and adding to the possibilities of what ONYXCON will mean to the city of Atlanta and the world in years to come. Everyone involved, please, take a bow!

* Photos of the event are being processed and will be posted on the ONYXCON website ASAP.
* Media follow ups are also in the works for major Articles and other documentation of this historical event.

With Homage,

ONYX CON IN ATLANTA, GA AUGUST 2009!!!!!

Dear Friends/Associates of
Artist Joseph R Wheeler III &
The NEW ART ORDER,

In conjunction with The Southwest Arts Center, Artist Joseph R Wheeler III’s company/movement The NEW ART ORDER will host a unique event AUGUST 14th & 15th 2009!!!
ALL ARE OFFICIALLY INVITED! SEE PDF LETTER Download SWACofficialVenueCONFIRM

ONYX CON is a unique CONFERENCE/CONVENTION for special interest in The African Diaspora's global community interest, marketing, and support of Sequential Arts, Popular Fine/Commercial Arts, Interactive Gaming, Film/Documentary, Toys/Figurines, and related genres.
Established festivals like Philadelphia’s East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC) founded by Yumy Odom with planning by event coordinator Maurice Waters inspired this event. The original - The Black Age of Comics Convention founded by Turtel ONLI of Chicago, IL, inspired that Convention. These conventions, The National Black Arts Festival, numerous other ‘comic cons’, and many other similar festive events were inspirational catalyst for the creation of ONYX CON.

The 1st (tentatively annual) ONYX CON will be held at the prestigious…
South West Arts Center
915 New Hope Road in SW
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30331

AUGUST 14th = The OPENING CEREMONIES AND NETWORKING CONFERENCE (tentatively an evening affair)

AUGUST 15TH = THE DAY LONG CONVENTION

FULL DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IN THE MEAN TIME, MARK  YOUR CALENDARS AND SAVE THE DATES!!!
