'''FurReal''' (commonly abbreviated as '''FR''' or referred to as '''FurReal Hub''') is a PG-13(ish), not for profit, public [[furry]] [[art community]] currently hosted on [[Facebook]]. FurReal's core ideals are multi-fold. As the group started with artists' needs in mind, it is at it's center, a community for the creative side of the [[fandom]]. However, anyone may join (visual artists, artisans, fursuit makers, musician, authors, and fans) as long as they follow the (strict) rules of the group. FurReal offers artists of all skills and talents resources, education, critiques, and interaction to help develop their skill sets. FurReal is also extremely friendly to newer artists. Protective of artist's rights, promote artists through their Art Page.

__TOC__

== Mission and Content ==

FurReal's primary goal is to help support furry artists and creators. The secondary goal is to give newer, upcoming, artists access to older and/or more experienced artists to help them bloom, grow, and become a bit more world (and business) savvy. FR's tertiary goal is to show the world we are more then what the mass media likes to paint us.

== Organization ==

The Administration is organized around a central body of senior admins. This is run similar to a board of trustees. (??) Admin-ship and Seniority are determined in part by merit with one's activity, professionalism, helpfulness, and ability to fulfill a specific need within the administration. When the amount of activity increases along with the increase in membership, often new admins are sought, interviewed, an given a 3 month testing period.

Admins are generally given the same amount of authority as any other admin when over-seeing the group. This is due to the world-wide nature, and issues with time zones. There needs to be at least one admin on duty at all times to cover the needs of the community. However, the admins are also self-adjudicating - we police our own as well. Admins may not always be publicly admonished, but issues are taken seriously and addressed appropriately.

The wide variety of opinions, cultural differences, and perspectives within the admin team helps to keep things in perspective.

== Audience, Impact, and Growth ==

On average '''FurReal''' sees about 130 new member join requests per week. As of October 31st, 2014 the group has about 5200 members.

Many works of art, music, writing, crafting, and more are shared, liked, commented upon, critiqued within the group on a daily basis. Some select few are promoted to the FurReal Art Page as a way to further promote to the public the amazing skills and talents within the fandom. The general rating of said works are roughly PG-13, however certain types of content are strictly not allowed. This is due to the open nature of the group, so mindfulness of the age-range that may see such content is always on the forefront of the administration's minds.

The limited way in which Facebook allows us to communicate and share, and the large amount activity within the group, has promoted the administration team to look past Facebook for solutions to further promote the creativity of the fandom. This has lead to an out-reach into other social media, and other art-sites like Deviant Art, as well as research into developing a separate website that is primarily community based.

== History ==

Created by '''Steven Stark''' aka (Ruffles) and '''Noah John''' aka (Fallenheim) on August 12 of 2013, the group has steadily grown into a well known furry art group/community.
