Furpile is a please touch plushie sculpture show running May 23rd through July 12th 2026 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

Patrick Totally asked several hundred sculptors, knitters, quilters, painters, illustrators, NPOs, drag performers, fursuit makers, tattooers, designers, locals, public figures, computer freaks, and "non-artists" to create a soft sculpture adhering to a certain set of parameters. Furpile is a show of work by the seventy-or-so artists who submitted work based on this prompt.

Furpile is an arts depreciation initiative. It is not enough to make cheap art. The bespoke stuff also needs to be much, much cheaper. We are still afraid to touch art. We are scared to use it after we buy it, like how we would anything else.

At the end of its run, the sculptures comprising Furpile will be donated to various thrift stores throughout Pennsylvania, reintroducing these artworks to our broader ecosystem of objects.
