“Lions and Tigers and Tabbies! Oh Meow!” Marvel at the power and fascination of cat imagery in art. These furry, mysterious, independent, beautiful felines have inundated history, mythology, literature, advertising, cinema, pop culture and pet owners for centuries.
Artists are encouraged to submit inspirational artworks in all mediums from paintings and drawings to ceramics, fiber works, sculpture, and jewelry, celebrating the fascinating world of cats from: Bastet, Grumpy Cat, The Pink Panther, Hello Kitty, Morris, Garfield, single cat ladies & lads, Cat in the Hat, and the Sphinx. Even artworks with cat-like attributes will be considered. Let your creative cat “out of the bag” for this “paw-some” exhibit!

MeWOW: Fabulous Felines is open to all area artists; however, Del Ray Artisans members pay a lower entry fee. If you are not a member, you may join Del Ray Artisans now.
Entry to this exhibit is by online submission. Art may be two- or three-dimensional, and in any medium. No strict size limits, but please be considerate of other artists and the physical limits of the gallery before entering oversized pieces. Oversized pieces of merit will be accepted if space permits. If submitting a multi-piece 2D artwork (such as a diptych or triptych), all parts must be framed together into one piece unless cleared in advance with the curator. Art should be ready to hang or display with wire and screw eyes, mounting and/or display stand, framed, matted, or with edges finished. We cannot show work that is not ready for exhibition. Example of a professionally framed artwork with flat screw eyes and wire:
If your artwork hanging system varies greatly from this example, contact the curators. See DelRayArtisans.org/exhibits/art-guidelines for additional details.
