World’s First Art Exhibition For Dogs

415

ADVERTISEMENT

If you thought art was only for humans, we’ve got news for you. Last Friday, Dominic Wilcox opened the world’s first art exhibition for dogs – ‘Play More.’

“Just because dogs can’t speak our human language doesn’t mean they don’t feel the same emotions and enjoy seeing and experiencing new and interesting things,” Wilcox told Bored Panda. “Since humans have so many art galleries to visit, I thought it’s a good time to create a dog art exhibition just for them.”

Titled ‘Play More,’ the cool art exhibition was open for just two days in London last week. It featured a bunch of unique artworks and interactive installations that helped stimulate the adorable animals physically and mentally. From a dog bowl-shaped ball pool to an open car window simulator to a screen that simulates a frisbee bouncing around a screen – this was the place to be for all the cute puppies attending. Check out some pics from the first-time-ever event below.

    I like this. It's a fun idea and encourages respect and understanding of dogs.

    You're spot on Vanessa. This is laziness at it's finest, while the man who created it gets rich.

    It looked like the dogs were more into the interactive parts than the stills- but then, everyone is a critic!

    When will the Exposition come to Lausanne, Geneva, Berne, Switzerland? My Shih Tzu is old and does not walk well. This would be so nice for her to see. Looking maybe to see it soon here. Lovely idea, by the way most dog owners do care for them and also take their dear four legged friends for nice walks.

    This was not the first art exhibition for dogs. Artist tibi tibi neuspiel did this over a year ago https://vimeo.com/144964524. Please do better research next time before posting.
