Hello! I’m craftyindividual, surviving admin of the group.
I’ve been pondering for some time but would prefer a more appropriate name for the group (named in haste after a Reddit group) - open to suggestions and placing a poll. Art and Traditional Art are already taken.
So far I’m considering:
Art for the masses Art attack I can’t believe it’s not Art
OhMyGodWhoArted

You can’t change the group name only the display name, so you are stuck with !artporn@lemm.ee - you might as well just go with it now. Most people will understand it’s not for porn but part of the larger “porn” family of communities.
Going from your sidebar, how about art gallery?
I don’t know how the trend of SomethingPorn and SomethingCore naming scheme will continue to grow, it definitely is quite catchy and produces short names but every time I see one of those it feels more like some form of a guilty pleasure than a name with an actual effort.
Art gallery is simple, obvious and really fitting to escape that trend. Exhibition would do the similar trick but I understand it might be less searchable.
“Classic Art” or “Classic Art Gallery” based on the sharings I’ve seen, and btw-- thanks so much for all your work! (hopefully bot-assisted?)
OTOH, I can’t help but wonder if you’re perhaps overthinking this…
On the internet at least, “something-porn” seems like a pretty clear and instant signpost for the masses, and that’s arguably most important of all. It also possesses the zeitgeist of being down to earth and not overly haughty, so to speak. *shrug*
