All types of pups were on display for the opening reception of For the Love of Dog on August 19th: some painted, some sculpted, and some live and ready to be adopted from their playpen. Artists and friends filled the event with affection toward these adorable dogs and admiration for each depiction of how we cherish, uphold, fear, and idolize our canine companions. We extend an immense thank you to the acquaintances, friends, and family who came out, not to mention the doggy guests of honor, escorted by the LA-based non-profit Wags and Walks.
If you missed the opening, For the Love of Dog will be on view at our Hashimoto Contemporary Los Angeles until September 9th. We are open Tuesday - Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm.
