Art of Fandom
For the month of July, Imurj is celebrating the Art of Fandom. This traditional-style gallery exhibition is intended to prop up both fan art and original works inspired by fandom. In doing so, let's show the Triangle's that the work we make inspired by our love of pop culture and media is just as beautiful, just as intricate, just as awesome as hell as the work you'd see in any other gallery. Fan art, cosplay, fan films and projects, prints, paintings, digital works, cosplay photography, original works, the entire realm of nerd-dom is welcome!
Exhibitors will showcase their work in Imurj’s Main Gallery for the month of July, displaying their work in a traditional gallery setting intended to elevate the craft of creating fan art for the things we’re crazy about.
2D artists (without prints):
Limit three works per applicant. All mediums accepted, from cosplay photography to paintings and illustrations. Maximum size per piece is 50 inches in either dimension. All 2D works MUST be wired upon dropoff to hang from Imurj’s gallery cable system.
3D artists (costume designers, sculpture, etc.):
Maximum weight for works that display on a pedestal is 80 lbs. Maximum weight for works that hang from the ceiling is 100 lbs. Any costumes on display for the month (or just for First Friday) will need a mannequin or other similar structure provided by the artist.
Video and Digital artists not submitting prints:
To submit video works, complete this form with a sample image and send an mp4 to Imurj’s Gallery Program Manager at exhibit@imurj.com
