Look at the Artisanal archives for the visual art. Unfortunately our archives only go back to January of last year cause we lost everything previous during our Times of Trouble last spring.
None of the art is Boris Vallejo-quality, of course, but I'm pretty pleased with the skill level of some people. For instance, this won last month's contest (and about $200 worth of stuff):
Anyway, a well-run central fanart gallery for muds would, I think, be pretty cool, though as you point out, running a good art gallery online is a lot of work. I think it's also important to ensure that all artwork on the site is non-infringing.
