With Paw Prints: Animals & Society we invite artists to explore the dynamic relationship between humans and animals. Your artwork can feature any creature, from the tiniest insects to majestic blue whales, or even fictional, mythological, and imagine beings.

We encourage a wide range of interpretations–whether representational or abstract–and welcome all forms of media. Reflect on how animals have been portray throughout history and consider themes ranging from companionship to exploitation. Art serves as a powerful medium for dialogue. Are non-human animals our co-inhabitants in this vast world, or are they subjects of exploitation? Share your vision and contribute to this ongoing conversation through your creative work.
