Welcome to the profile page of the FurAffinity Group Self-Taught Artists!
We're a group dedicated to acknowledging and promoting artists who have no formal academic training or have yet to receive any.
~Purpose~
Born out of necessity, self-taught artists are numerous in number due to the difficulties of accessing formal training, more than likely due to expenses and/or distance. The advancements of the internet alongside a more open-minded view of the artist as a profession has made knowledge once limited to classrooms and books universally available to anyone with an internet connection and a desire to learn, inspiring artists from all walks of life to pick up a pencil, paintbrush or art tablet to pursue their artistic ambitions. Regardless of intentions, this group celebrates those self-motivated artists and gives them recognition for their efforts, while also providing support and advice for new artists in need.
There is more than one way to approach art, the avant-garde movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries made that point very clear. If you have an appreciation for all forms of art, and feel that one does not need a classroom environment to achieve great art, then please do support us! If there is a self-taught artist that you feel deserves more promotion, then share them with us! If you're a new artist looking to receive feedback from like-minded individuals of similar backgrounds, then you will find camaraderie with us!
We are all in this together as a community of artists.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am at this time unable to give my full focus and attention to maintaining this group. I haven't updated in a while and neglected responding to people in a timely matter.
Time to let a more responsible person with more free time than I can offer to carry on this group.
If you want to take over the group, either temporarily or permanently, just send me a note about why you should and the group is yours.
Sorry folks,
