Save the Date & Preview: “Cat Art Show LA 2” at Think Tank Gallery – March 24th
Cat Art Show LA, the Los Angeles based art exhibit that surprised locals by drawing thousands of visitors when it debuted in 2014, is coming back for a second year on March 24th, 2016 to Think Tank Gallery, in DTLA. The exhibition will focus on the cat—our domesticated companion and internet meme—as muse
Cat Art Show LA 2: The Sequel will feature more than 70 globally recognized artists including Mark Ryden, Kat Von D, Norman Reedus, Marc Dennis, Travis Lampe, Walter Chandoha, Mick Rock, and Adam Wallacavage, among others.
All of the artwork will be available for sale including both originals and limited editions and a portion of the proceeds will go to Kitten Rescue.
“Cat Art Show LA 2: The Sequel is a continuation of their inaugural cat art outing which brought together cat lovers and art enthusiasts,”
said Susan Michals, curator of the show.
“We have asked each artist the basic question, what is the true meaning of cat for you—ally, domestic partner, enemy, frenemy, allergic reaction or guru? From that, each artist’s interpretation is unique and honest.”
“Cats have been part of our lives for thousands of years. The Egyptians frequently aligned them with the gods and artists like Picasso created masterpieces centered around cats,”
continued Michals.
“Now people post them on Instagram and artists interpret them.”
On Opening Night their will be a special VIP preview from 6:30PM – 8:00PM. As capacity is super limited, they’ll be offering a limited number of tickets for sale on EventBrite.
