Furry Art Show in SoCal in June. We Need Art!
12 years ago
Expanding on my earlier journal, I now have some more specific information about the Anthropomorphic Art Show I've been trying to arrange during CaliFur this year. It looks as if it might very well be a GO, taking place in Santa Ana (CA) throughout the month of June. Now we need some good quality furry art to fill up the space! Remember, this is 'arty art', so we need to have your best stuff!
Here's how it's likely to work: The gallery we've been speaking to is terribly reasonable with their wall-prices. We have about 120 square feet of space to fill. They fill up the space on the last Sunday of each month (we'd be looking at May 26th), and the art remains on display for one month total (in this case until June 30th). So we'd be going up right before CaliFur, on display through CaliFur (including the monthly Santa Ana Art Walk on June 1st, which is a HUGE event every month), and up for a full month after that! And yes, the idea is to SELL the art, not just display it.
The way I figure, the wall fee could work like this: If we get 8 artists, up to 2 pieces each (we don't want to over-crowd the wall), it would be $30 per artist (total, for the month!), plus the gallery's 25% commission on any sales. If we only had 6 artists represented, it'd be $40 each, but we could have more or larger pieces from each artist.
So, what do people think? Does this sound like a go? I'd love the opportunity to get some real anthro art up in front of an artsy crowd for a whole month for a reasonable price. Let's show 'em what we can do!
[And yes, I'm planning on accepting mail-in art!]

This goes for anyone else who'd like to participate too ^^
You should probably post the address and hours for those who would like to see it.

The Avant Garden is located at Suite B-7B in the Santora Building at 207 North Broadway Santa Ana, CA 92701.
If any of the artists can break away from CaliFur on Saturday night to hang out by the display for about an hour on Saturday night (the 1st), that would be really cool.
