아티스트 라운지

Let's enjoy the chemical reaction between kemono, art, and interactions!

What is the Artist Lounge?

The artist lounge is a place where attendees can enjoy various interactions and programs through kemono and art or art activities. Its motto is that the fandom is about “more than just fursuits”. You can join in on some art-related programs, take commissions, or just talk and draw the whole time. There's a lot of ways one can enjoy the artist lounge. Come spend a special time here, one you can't get by just joining in on events selling merchandise.

Note: Various art materials will be available for rent in the lounge, but availability is limited. We strongly recommend that you bring your own art materials.

What Kind of Programs Will Be Available?

The planned programs are shown below.

JMoF Art Competition 2025

We will hold an art competition. Why not present your work to an audience and show everyone your great passion and dedication for art?

This year, the theme of the contest is “possibility”! For more information including how to apply, please see the “Art Competition” page.

JMoF Workshop

With the exception of JMoF's first day, the JMoF Workshop will be held during the same hours as the artist lounge. Come bring illustrations and turn them into pin badges...

...or have fun turning them into name badges with laminators and eyelets! You can even take commissions for this!

Note | Please bring your own string/cords for the name badge lanyards.

Note | You can make one item per illustration for each kind of service.

JMoF Handscroll

In the lounge, we will set up a looooooooong roll of paper on which you can draw anything! If you don’t have enough space to draw, just unwind the paper a little further.

Why not draw something about your best memory of JMoF so far? Of course, it’s up to you if you draw a detailed piece or just a sketch!

Note | We may publish the contents of the handscroll on our official SNSs or website.

Open Commissions File

In the lounge, we will set up an A4-sized file folder in which anyone can leave their “open for commissions” sheet. You can bring one you prepared in advance or create one spontaneously on-site. Both is fine!

If you want to participate in other programs but also make use of the available time to get in some art commissions, this is for you! Make the most of it and enjoy JMoF to the fullest!

You don’t know how to make your “open for commissions” sheet? We’ve prepared the template data (JPG/PDF). You can use it as it is or customize it to your own way of getting commissions!

We look forward to seeing you there!
