The art gallery Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh, located three miles from Anthrocon’s events, is currently hosting a furry exhibit. Co-curated by Brett Hanover who directed the documentary film Rukus, this exhibition is called Room Party: Furry Art at the Beginning of the World in celebration of the unofficial gatherings of furries that occur during conventions, typically where art exchanges and sketching would occur.

More information on the list of artists being exhibited can be found here. While there will be special events during Anthrocon weekend, the exhibit will be available until July 20th during their normal Thursday and Sunday open gallery hours. These events are not run by Anthrocon themselves, but by Bunker Projects.

Happening now: Anthrocon and Room Party show at Bunker Projects, 5106 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh

Anthrocon has competitors for the world’s biggest furry convention, but is unsurpassed in other ways. Their street parade is a wonder of the furry world, uniquely partnered with Pittsburgh and swarmed by cheering residents on a blocked off city street.

Fursuiters make public image by flaunting millions in art at such events, but it’s also about the artists. They’re enjoying how Pittsburgh welcomes furries like nowhere else, with their own art show at a gallery apart from the top cat con.

SEE ROOM PARTY: http://room-party.com. The show has a 6-week run with film screenings, workshops, and informal art-making gatherings. Curators include Brett Hanover (previously in furry news with his movie Rukus.) Brett sent info:

Room Party is the first-ever large-scale group exhibition of contemporary and experimental furry art, featuring over 50 artists working in drawing and painting, comics, photography, installation, video, and new media. Curated by furry artists Lane Lincecum, Brett Hanover, Cass Dickenson, and Paul Peng, Room Party takes its name from the unofficial hotel room parties held during conventions—embodied virtual realities where furries try on unimagined identities, invent new sexualities and artistic expressions, and discover alternative ways of being known. Room Party brings the love and creativity of these events to Pittsburgh’s Bunker Projects, putting furry artists in conversation with the fine art world, the broader queer community, and the contemporary moment.

Mainstream media is cranking out copious Anthrocon headlines. You can find those on nonfurry channels. Here, watch how Patch O’Furr met a drag queen film maker on a Pittsburgh street corner who was looking for a furry boyfriend.

Furries are on NPR, no matter what the White House says

Close All Tabs goes “inside the world of furry funerals” for their podcast about internet culture on KQED, the SF Bay Area’s NPR station. Host Morgan Sung interviewed Changa Husky and Patch O’Furr about how furries memorialize members who have passed: How the Furry Fandom Says Goodbye.

The show was originally going to feature a certain furry project, until they learned it was corrupt from evidence at Dogpatch Press. It was set aside while browsing led them to 2024’s Your fursona has an afterlife: Online community has unique ways to memorialize. That became the new topic – proof that hiding bad things doesn’t make good things, and reporting everything can do more good.

Furries are on the Republican “woke” attack list, and a 2025 White House press release lists NPR and PBS stories including reporting about furries as a reason to strip their funding. Hiding won’t stop them. Boldly putting furries on NPR is about being allies to defy bad government.

Public image and The Furry Detectives docuseries trailer from AMC+ 

This 4-episode true crime docuseries goes public on July 17. Since it was announced in April, Dogpatch Press attended the June theater premiere in New York, saw the show, and agreed with other furry viewers that it was great and handled a loaded story with skill.

The Furry Detectives are those who report abusers after a ring was exposed in 2018. The story is current because in 2025, most of the same abusers are still active without consequences. There are corrupt furries with influence now who had it in the 1990’s, before the media reported anything about their image. Blaming the media for causing bad image would be the most harmful way to handle abuse. Being in community means knowing it’s part of society and the full spectrum of human behavior.

Of course that doesn’t stop anyone from also showing the good parts. Remember, The Fandom is a very positive documentary that just turned 5 years old.

More politics and crime news, for a good reason

Furries are on the “woke” attack list of some Republicans in Colorado, who sued a journalist and news outlet for reporting about those attacks. A Colorado court just dismissed the Republican’s libel lawsuit.

In 2020, an extreme abuser emerged out of furry fandom to target its members. Krystal Scott tortured and killed animals on video to shock them, earning the nickname “Omegle Cat Killer” until she was caught and convicted in Indiana. Scott was in federal prison for a few years and released. In 2025, Scott was just caught doing the same crimes again.

• 2025 update: Woman on federal probation for ‘animal crushing’ found with dogs, cats in Fountain Square
• July 4: New Animal Cruelty Charges for Woman with Violent History

Furry Bewares first raised alarm about Scott, a year before she got wider notice, while she was doing serious crimes that the police didn’t take seriously at first. After Scott was released and went back to it, an alert citizen made incredible effort to get her caught and save a lot of animals. That’s the power of community.
