Cats

A group exhibition celebrating one of art's most enduring subjects. Opening on August 8, World Cat Day, the exhibition explores the many ways cats have inspired artists across time and cultures. With their striking eyes, graceful movements and unpredictable nature, cats have long captured the imagination, appearing in painting, sculpture, literature, religion and folklore. This exhibition brings together artists working across oil painting, Japanese painting, acrylics, illustration, ceramics, wood carving, sculpture and textiles, each offering a unique interpretation of the feline form. From charming companions to mysterious, dreamlike creatures, the exhibition showcases the many faces of cats through a wide range of artistic expressions. A series of workshops led by participating artists will also be held during the exhibition. [Related Events] 1. Dye a Cat: Batik Handkerchief Workshop Date: August 9, 10:30 or 13:30 (90 min.)
