Call To Artists: Dog & Cat Days Of Summer Open Juried Show

 

Dog (& Cat) Days Of Summer Open Juried Show
July 1 – August 12, 2025
All Galleries

This time of year had a special significance in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, and the term originates from their studies of astrology. Nowadays, the term has taken on new meanings as pet parents associate it with lazy days when dogs are so hot they just want to lay in the shade and sip an ice-cold Puppuccino. Artists are invited to share their favorite fur-baby creations of dogs and cats. Not so much into fur-babies? That’s ok, show us how you handle the summer heat!
