dogs

This October, Allen Street Art is presenting an exhibition celebrating man’s best friend. Dogs are humanity’s first domesticated animal, having become close to people even before the advent of agriculture. Coming from a common ancestor of modern wolves, the first confirmed domesticated pup, known as the Bonn-Oberkassel dog, lived over 14,000 years ago but archaeological remains of suspected domesticated dogs exist as far back as 36,000 years ago.

We are looking for Western New York artists who have depicted humanity’s first animal companion. All mediums and styles accepted.

Every artist is invited to submit up to 5 artworks. Hanging artworks accepted into the exhibition must be wired on the back and sculptural works must fit atop a 12″x12″ pedestal.
