“The enigmatic feline has been a source of artistic inspiration for thousands of years. One moment they can be a best friend, the next, an antagonist. They are the perfect subject matter, and works of art, all by themselves.” – Susan Michals, Cat Art Show creator and curator
Cat Art Show’s VIP Opening Reception on June 14 starts at 6 pm, and includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The Public Opening immediately follows at 8:30 pm, and includes a full cash bar, DJs, and photo booth. Beneficiaries of the exhibition include The Ian Somerhalder Foundation and Kitten Rescue LA.
