Good morning! Art Show here, thank you for your patience while we are trying out our shiny new email system. We have noticed that emails to art sellers who have not also bought something have not gone out, we apologise for this! If you have sold something and not received an email, come by the art show this afternoon between 2pm and 6pm and we can let you know your winnings and give you a print out if you need one.

If you are unable to attend art pick up this afternoon due to other events, you will be able to collect your pieces from con ops. Please have your proof of payment via bank transfer ready to show them to make collecting your winnings as easy as possible.

If you are having issues paying for your winnings via bank transfer, that's not a problem! Come by the Art Show between 4pm and 6pm and we can take payment by card. There is no payment limit this year on this. Where possible we request payment via bank transfer, as per the email you will have received, in order to save time in queues. Thanks (and sorry for the megapost)!

Polite reminder: If you ask the hotel to attend your room, treat it as if your mother is coming in. Wear your "clothes", hide your "silicone sculptures", remove your "cleansing devices" etc.

And thank the staff when you see them, they've been doing a stellar job this con!

Polite Reminder: Photography or filming within the fursuit lounges is forbidden. People are sweaty and have their human bits out in there. Do not make us proceed to an impolite reminder.

BADGER FACT: The modern word "badge" is derived from a Medieval tradition whereby minor nobles in Hertfordshire would tie live badgers to their tunics. Over time, the high mortality rate led to the adoption instead of images of badgers, or "badges".

Hello everyone. A very sleepy hamster may have been making notions that Art Show is doing pick ups at 2pm. We would like to inform you that we have put him in his cage for a little nap and that art show will open at 4pm for collections as per the events schedule. If you are unable to attend art pick up until after 6pm this is fine, come on down during the payout session and we can get your art to you then. Thank you. Zzzz. 🐹💤🛌

ConFuzzled has been made aware of the issue with the charity artwork materials, and that they have been copied from a furry community artist.

Specifically, we recognise that copying both direct and in style has occurred in said materials.

Firstly, we'd like to pass on that the charity themselves are mortified. They themselves did not create this artwork, but instead commissioned pieces through a third party. It is this third party that has created the copies.

Neither ConFuzzled, nor Saints Sled Dog Rescue condone this act of copying, and we are committed to making it right. We apologise unreservedly, to both the original artist (whom we are contacting directly), to artists and makers in the community, and indeed to the community as a whole.

The charity themselves would not have been aware of the work of the original artist, and as such did not recognise that copying had occurred.

As for ConFuzzled, we ourselves do not routinely vet the artwork and materials used by our charities. As such, an opportunity to verify the artwork was missed.

It is vital to everyone on the ConFuzzled team to support our community. This is a convention by furries, for furries. We fully support the creativity of community artists and makers.

As such, in conjunction with the charity, we plan to take the following steps,

1️⃣ The charity will be withdrawing all use of the offending material.
2️⃣ We are reaching out to the original artist directly.
3️⃣We will be working directly with a community artist to commission for the charity, new, original artworks, paid for by ConFuzzled.
4️⃣ Updating our processes to review materials used by our charities.

To expand on some of this further; the charity are already in love with us! That their use of these copied pieces would hurt us, is something they are extremely upset about themselves. That's not who they are.

The charity would far rather have true original works from furry artists. So, ConFuzzled are going to make that happen.

We hope however, that you can forgive them. This was done entirely without malice. In future, ConFuzzled will work closely with charities to help connect them with our community for materials they might want, to help promote their work.

We too are very sorry. We would never knowingly either support, or willfully ignore actions that hurt the community, and community creatives. Again, we are committed to making this right.

We hope that you will continue to support Saints Sled Dog Rescue, and the vital work that they do. Please, do not punish the charity for this mistake - it was done without malice, and we will make this right.

Thank you,
ConFuzzled Team.
