Calling all pet lovers! Do you make artwork about your beloved animal? Or do you create objects that are useful to pets and pet owners? Treat is an exhibition that commemorates the joy of portraying the personalities and quirks of pets through craft.
The relationship between people and their pets is a longstanding story of companionship and symbiosis. Our faithful furry, scaly, fluffy, feathery friends and family improve our lives. In return, people derive satisfaction from treating their pets with special treats, toys, or new accessories that reflect their pet's unique personality. Alberta Craft calls artists in all Craft mediums to submit to Treat, an exhibition dedicated to the animals we love and care for.
