Feline Frenzy, A National Juried Exhibition
Ends on
Did you know September is National Cat month? Neither did we, but we are all about it now that we found out!! And now we want nothing more than to have our gallery walls filled with images of cats of all kinds: fat cats, skinny cats, cats on desks, cats with attitude, cats with an extra toe bean, cats missing an eye and thus in a perpetual wink, fancy cats with fancy names, stray cats with no names, cat toys, cat condos, cat hammocks….you get the picture. Just cats and cat stuff. All mediums are welcome, we just ask that all art include the theme of cats in some way!
