Upcoming Art Opportunities
7 years ago
Okay, so... My husband and I have been working on several avenues for promoting furry art, all of which we hope to get moving in the near future.
1. My mate came up with this idea for a sort of "mini furry con" which would be SPECIFICALLY about furry art and ONLY furry art. No fur-suits, no dances, no social stuff... Just a couple dozen tables in the Den of Dealers, and lots of art how-to lectures about furry art, cartoon art, "real animal" art, and so forth. Not held at a hotel -- more likely at a community center over a weekend.
2. Remember those Art of Furry Fandom shows we put on at the Avant Garden in Santa Ana (CA)? Remember how we whined when the gallery closed its doors? Well guess what: They re-opened again, in another location, still in Santa Ana. And they are very interested in renting us some space to have another show sometime soon. We would very much like to take them up on that.
3. We just discovered that the San Diego Comic Con Art Show has moved out of the Sand Diego Convention Center and down the street a ways to the Hyatt Hotel. And guess what? You do not need a Comic Con membership to get in and view the show -- OR to enter art in it! All you need is $35 to rent a full panel -- they don't even take out a commission from your sales. They had some cool furry art in the show this year, but they can always use more!
4. On that note, if you live in Orange County CA (like we do), the OC Fair has a great art show too. They've had furry art in it before (they've even showcased a couple furry artists), but they could also use some more!
Do any of these sound like things you might be interested in taking part in? Please Message Me and let me know! We'd love to help you get involved. And please, help us spread the word to other artists!
