From the Art Show information on the left:

Agents and Mail-In Service

If you cannot attend Anthrocon, you may be represented by an agent at the convention. An agent is simply someone you authorize to act on your behalf in dealing with the Art Show at the convention. He or she will bring, hang and pick up your artwork, do your paperwork, etc. -- i.e., perform the normal duties and accept the responsibilities you would if you were present. Typically, an agent is an artist's friend or acquaintance who is attending the convention anyway. One person can act as an agent for several artists. There is no set limit to the number of artists an agent can represent, but remember, it takes time to hang the art and do the paperwork: it could take several hours for several artists.

We no longer offer mail-in service. We feel it best to devote our efforts to the artists and agents who invest the time and expense to attend the convention.

More details can be found under Events, then Art Show.

What Charlie said. Has your friend gotten an Art Show info packet? If not, please tell her to send me her real name and address and I can mail her one, or send her a PDF of the packet if she can handle large attachments. Then she puts your name down on the space reservation form form as her agent and sends it back, before April 30.

As an agent you personally don't need to do anything right now -- it's all up to the artist until con time, when you act on their behalf as described in Charlie's quote from the Art Show page.
