EXCLUSIVE OPEN CALL: CATS
An Exhibition + Limited Edition Luxury Art Publication | 2025

From sacred felines of ancient Egypt to the quiet companions of today’s creative spaces, their presence has shaped art history’s most profound narratives. This is your chance to join an beautiful celebration of this timeless bond.

We invite artists, writers, and creators to submit their finest works inspired by the feline spirit — literal or metaphorical — for a prestigious exhibition and a collector’s edition publication.
