Aniwave was an annual one day anime convention held during December at the Wilmington Convention Center in Wilmington, North Carolina. Programming The convention typically offered a costume contest, demonstrations, panels, vendors, and workshops. History Aniwave was founded in 2007 by artist Michal Wisniowski as a free film festival held at the Cameron Art Museum and Jengo's Playhouse. The convention moved to a larger venue in 2010, the Wilmington Convention Center, and had new leadership due to Michal Wisniowski moving away.
