Ohio River Valley Cosplayers (ORCs) is a non-profit chapter affiliate of Nerd Louisville. Although based out of Louisville, the ORCs are active in five states including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia. ORCs support the cosplay community by promoting positivity, presenting how-to seminars, hosting panels, and offering emergency costume repair stations at conventions.

Our mission is to inspire, empower, embody and enthrall. Whether you need encouragement, a helping hand, or just advice, the ORCs are available. Members of our community are not only friends, they are our CosFam.
