Reigning Cats and Dogs

Because Every Pet Is a Masterpiece

Reigning Cats and Dogs is a celebration of the animals that rule our hearts and homes. This group exhibition invites artists to showcase work inspired by their pets- cats, dogs, and companions of all kinds, captured through any artistic medium. From playful portraits to heartfelt tributes, the gallery highlights the unique bonds we share with our furry friends. We invite art lovers and animal enthusiasts alike to experience the creativity, humor, and love our pets inspire.
