The Truth about Cats and Dogs

An Online Exhibition on Artsy
August 15 – October 15, 2026

Cats. Dogs. Lizards. Chickens. Crows. Possums. Octopuses. Emotional support tarantulas. That raccoon that keeps stealing your neighbor’s tomatoes.

We’re looking for artwork inspired by the creatures we live with, admire, rescue, fear, obsess over, or simply can’t stop thinking about. Domestic, wild, mythical, microscopic… if it has fur, feathers, scales, shells, tentacles, hooves, wings, or way too many legs, it’s fair game.

Cute is optional. Weird is encouraged.

Painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, ceramics, digital work, printmaking, assemblage, video, and every other medium are welcome. Surprise us.

Selected artists will be featured in a two-month online exhibition on Artsy, connecting your work with collectors around the world.

Open Call: July 15 – August 3, 2026
