iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

BTS Art Fest (CLOSED) @btsartfest.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Thank you, everyone - 🎨🖌️🖼️

Dear Gallery Patrons and Creators,

Thank you for participating in the Bangtan Art Gallery show, ‘Written Word and Fan Art’ ca. 2024.

As your curators, we cannot even begin to express our joy at creating this fest for you. We felt this idea was not only unique but inspiring, but we didn't know how it would be received. Our hope was that if people participated, the result would be a strong variety of works hailing from a multitude of influences. We're happy to say we were correct! But this would never have happened without all of you. “Thank you” will never be enough for all the time and support put into this fest, from our mods to our graphic designer, writers, artists, readers, and fellow art aficionados.

Before we sign off, we'd like to leave you with a little homework: notice art wherever you go. This includes everything from internationally acclaimed masterpieces to a lesser-known works of local artists to bts edits on social media. Notice who made it, what you like about it, what it makes you feel, and how it inspires you. And, most importantly, always remember proper citation.

Your Curators,
🎨🖌️🖼️

A screenshot of a quote tweet. The original tweet is a picture of Charli XCX and background dancers on stage. There are bodies everywhere, in many different poses. The overall color scheme is a grey blue. Above the image in the original tweet it says "Like a Caravaggio painting." The quote retweet says, "not really. too many people for it to be caravaggio, and the colors are too cold. more so gericault i'd say but i like your energy"

Moodboard with a warm but distorted look. In the top left corner is a lone wooden chair facing the camera, half in shadow. To the right is a glowing neon open sign. The middle row from left to right is a blurred photo of BTS smiling together, a solo image of Seokjin looking away from the camera and a jukebox tucked into the back of a room behind a table and chair. The bottom left is a long shot of diner booths to one side and stools at a bar to the other. In the bottom right, two hands with pinkies linked and wrapped up in red string.
