Artist Alley

DreamHack Hannover > Artist Alley

All the Creativity on one Place

Welcome to our first Artist Alley at DreamHack Hannover! At the festival is not everything about gaming and immersing yourself in a virtual world, but also about showing the creative side of the community. That is why we are proud to provide a platform for all artists to showcase and sell their unique work to the public.

The Artist Alley is the perfect opportunity to take home a unique piece of art and even support local artists. Last year, over 21,000 people attended the DreamHack Hannover and this year the creatives have the chance to get in touch with this huge community with their exclusive products.
