This has potential; I hope the participating artists get their work noticed by more people!
I keep a small binder of furry art that I can show to folks outside the fandom, although the opportunity to do so doesn't come up very often. The real challenge - after you eliminate the adult material and the pin-ups - what you're largely left with are single-character poses. Many of them are really nice, but don't say much from an artistic point of view other than "This is my character". So I go digging for images that have a lot of detail or are set against a background environment, or suggest a mood or a larger story, or simply ooze Character.
Like this image isn't a work of detailed, artistic skill, but it's an amusing character piece that suggests more than just the cat. There's also a certain artistry to more minimalist, animation/cartoony styles that I hope doesn't get overlooked at the exhibition - or more abstract, illustrative and design styles, like this.
Other nice images I stumbled across recently: Meradragon, Seyorrol, Louvelex, and RyanWardlow. (I'd link to more, but I have to run to catch a bus.)
