Cats and dogs have appeared in art for centuries, as companions, symbols, protectors, working animals and beloved members of everyday life.
From ancient Egyptian depictions of cats to dogs in paintings, sculptures, ceramics, manuscripts and everyday imagery across cultures, these animals have long been part of visual storytelling.
Today they continue to inspire artists in deeply personal ways. They can represent companionship, love, loyalty, playfulness, comfort, family, memory, personality, connection, loss, or simply the joy of sharing life with an animal.
Cats, Dogs & Stories brings these perspectives together in a curated virtual exhibition hosted by the Women in Arts Network. Selected works will be presented in an online gallery open to art enthusiasts, collectors, curators, fellow artists and audiences everywhere.
