Bunnycutlet's
largest and longest-running show to date is Too Art for TV, an annual exhibition designed to promote and encourage the fine arts in the animation industry. We look for work that isn't your typical animation fair, and we accept anybody who works in animation broadly. We believe that artists in the animation industry have extraordinary artistic skills and a unique perspective on pop culture at large. We hope to continue to provide a reliable home for animation's creative minds otherwise "owned" by networks and studios.

In January of 2006 at the Stay Gold Gallery (Brooklyn, New York), Too Art for TV opened as New York's first large scale fine art exhibition for Animation Industry artists. Drawing in excited, elbow-to-elbow crowds of artists, illustrators, filmmakers, animators, gallery goers, and fans of the animation genre, Too Art for TV 2006 was the first of what became an annual event.

There is NO COVER CHARGE.

THANKS EXHIBITORS for chipping in...
In order to make the show a reality, the show leans heavily on its friends. We couldn't pull it off without the generous exhibitors who help build, install, and run errands for the show, often at the sacrifice of much time and effort.
