Artists & Performers

The furry community is an arts community before anything else. There is no “furry” without artists to help express our imagined creatures, whether through drawing, writing, costuming, or any other medium.  Furry art inspires young people to learn to draw… and it’s how countless artists make their living. Performers, too, have space to practice, grow, and exhibit their skills in the furry fandom.

But furries too often think the road ends there. 

Stichting Otterdam strives to encourage, nurture, and enable furry artists to go beyond the fandom. At the same time, we encourage the larger arts community to incorporate furry arts and culture into their programs. We believe there’s a lot to be gained by exposing furry artists and performers to a wider audience – and for nonfurry artists and performers to learn about opportunities within the furry community.

Are you an artist or performer who wants to expand your reach? Let’s talk about ways we could work together; [LINK TO CONTACT PAGE]Contact us[/LINK TO CONTACT PAGE] to get started.
