CAT-TASTIC:

Nonsense-

1. appearing as if it is an adorable cat.

2. furry or fur-less in the form of a cat.

3. extravagantly fanciful and feline.

4. incredible cat-like tendencies.

5. highly cuddle-able and fantastic.

Cats of all kinds are fantastic! get inspired by toe beans, naps in the sun, and all things cat-tastic.

Up to 24 pieces will be selected for display in the gallery. All ages of artists are welcome to submit artwork. Please be mindful of all ages of viewers. The gallery walls are secured behind glass and located just inside the Youth Services area on the first floor. The show will be juried by Rochester Public Library Youth Services staff.
