I LOVE FURRY was an art show organized by Tommy Bruce at Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh, PA from June 5th-July 18th 2026. The exhibition collected images, texts, and videos gathered from the furry community via submission to prompts exploring different aspects of furry experience.
Concept
I LOVE FURRY was inspired by a desire to produce an artistic survey of furry experience. Drawing from social practice art projects like Learning To Love You More by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, I LOVE FURRY means to provide an opportunity for furries to explore and share their individual experiences of furry and contribute to a unique collective document of our community. Each prompt seeks to highlight a different aspect of being a furry, from fursuiting to drawing, gaming, looking at and commissioning art. For me, furry is about building a world together, where each participant finds a way to add depth to our collective fantasy.
Process
All works included in the exhibition will be printed by the artist (Tommy Bruce) for display in the exhibition. Consent for the reproduction of your artwork for exhibition and any promotional materials relating to the show is required for inclusion in the project. Artworks displayed in the exhibition will not be offered for individual sale. Due to the nature of the project, I cannot guarantee individual credit to each participant will be displayed alongside submissions, though I will do my best to keep track and credit as possible.
