MCA's Creature Feature - Call for Entries! - NOW CLOSED
Animals have been a source of inspiration for many artists. From art about rural life and growth, to myths and legends, animals are used in art in many ways. Art can help us explore our relationship to wildlife and can help us think about how we care for animals and the environment. From cute house pets to mythical creatures, artists in this exhibit explore how and why animals excite the human imagination.
