HOWL, the Art of Dogs 2026, International Juried Art Exhibition

The Art of Dogs encompasses more than animal portraiture. It revels in personality, tone, purpose, joy, and expression. There is an overarching theme of connection here as well. We hope you enjoy this moving collection of canines, mostly domesticated but also a little wild. 

BEST OF SHOW
Forever a Pack, by Morgan Cameron

From the artist, "Forever a Pack depicts a bonded, real-life family of dogs, two of which had passed before this painting was made. They stand side-by-side, remaining timeless, ageless, and one unit, together for all time."
