Upcoming Exhibition

For the Love of Dog

Kimberly Hyatt

Aug 13 – Oct 31, 2026

Originally created as pushback against the political state of the world and how our planet is suffering, For the Love of Dog offers a space to escape worldly noise, appreciate art, and explore the simple, yet profound relationship we share with our dogs. Kimberley Hyatt doesn’t believe art has to be complicated to have meaning. For the Love of Dog celebrates the love, joy, and grief we experience with our animals and how the universality of loving dogs connects us with others. Caring for a dog is a gift; while we take them on as dependents, perhaps we are the ones dependent on them.
