This past Saturday afternoon we launched our most recent exhibit- the annual Cat Person. Dog Person. Whatchamacallit Person. This show was very well received and is always a much needed happy show in the middle of our Winter season. Lots of people and dogs dropped by to take in the art...and a cat dropped by later too!
This show is a must-see for any animal lovers. We hope to have the show ONLINE by end of day tomorrow for those of you living abroad, but until then, enjoy these PET SELFIES taken with a few of the participating artists in the show. We encourage you to share your pet selfies with us, using the hashtag #petselfieshrm on Twitter.
