The labour of fan communities gets unnoticed when we think about high fantasy. Fans are the ones often bringing the characters to life, by their own volition. They create arts and crafts, interpreting stories visually even before illustrators get officially commissioned to interpret. This exhibit, curated with the consulting of author Robin Hobb, celebrates fans. Displaying postcards, an embroidered bag, and memorabilia presented to the author by fans during her travels, The Fans of Robin Hobb shows visitors the creativity and community of being in a fan community.

The exhibit also displays souvenir coins and the Gemell award received by the author, helping us question the role of fans in popularizing the author's work, and the power of fans to shape creative careers.
