Hello, Quelfabulous here! Bringing you a fantastic piece of news and an
opportunity that a lot of fine artists in the community have been waiting for!
I've had a dream to see anthropomorphic artwork get more involved in the real art world outside of the internet. There is so
much talent in this community beyond all the furry states of mind out there. I've been to New York, wrote several reviews on artwork there and honestly....in some exhibitions, I've seen better work here on the internet. Some of the galleries are laughable. But a lot is not.
I was so happy to see this advertised-- Finally, someone pushing for more art world exposure to anthropomorphic art! If you are serious about selling your art as a Fine Artist, please consider entering your work
for jury. The information is below!FC2012 Gallery Exhibit Brief Summary
From
"This year two galleries in downtown San Jose are hosting open-to-the-public art shows concurrent with Further Confusion 2012. This is REALLY AWESOME.
The objective of these shows is to get high-quality furry/anthro art out in the public, and introduce San Jose's downtown gallery scene to the wealth of artwork our community produces; to show them there's a lot more going on at a furry con than people running around in animal mascot costumes. The gallery owners we've contacted are completely on board with these exhibitions and are excited to welcome convention-goers to their venues in January. And we think this is a pretty amazing opportunity for our illustrators and artists to elevate their profile, grow their audience, and score more sales.
The exhibition will open Thursday, January 12th, and will be on view through Saturday, January 21. Both venues will have a general show, and one location will also host a special exhibition on conbadge art. The local news media will be notified of these exhibitions.
Note that the public art shows are not (currently) part of the official Further Confusion 2012 programming; they're being organized independently from the convention by the Art Track events lead, B. Root. Direct any
questions or comments you have about the public art show to hello@dawnchapel.com. "CLICK THE LINK TOWARDS THE TITLE. READ IT CAREFULLY
