Art Show

The Simpsons was recently the focus of a major art exhibit in Toronto, Canada. (More info: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/tv-s-the-simpsons-celebrated-in-dartmouth-art-exhibit-1.2737917 and http://torontoist.com/events/event/new-simpsons-art-exhibit-is-one-you-doh-not-want-to-miss/). There should probably be a brief mention in the reception section, since the show is a gathering point for a lot of artistic works that are derivative from the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.199.46 (talk) 21:07, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
