Feline Fantastica Cat Art Show

Northurp King Building in North MPLS

The Feline Fantastica cat art show is back! It takes place in the main gallery of the Northrup King Building on the 3rd floor Saturdays, January 18th 12-8 and next Saturday January 25th 12-4.

Each artist is bringing their own perspective to our favorite cozy, cuddly, funny, and sometimes naughty roommates. This year we will have a rescue on hand, The Bitty Kitty Brigade finding and careing for abandoned kittens and getting them ready for adoption. Also new this year, we will be providing you with a "Pawsport", a ticket to get you around the entire building to find even more cat art. Artists will stamp your pawsport, then you will bring it back to the main gallery where you can register for drawings.
