If there is one thing everyone agrees on, it’s that Colorado is full of dogs. On any given day, every shape, size, and breed of canine can be seen happily strutting, strolling or running with their humans on trails, parks, and sidewalks. Others can be seen greeting or challenging those who walk by their fenced domain. Less seen, but equally as prevalent, are their furry, feathered or fishy companions. This year’s Gone the Dogs call for entries is welcoming these friends to be included in artwork submitted for this popular juried exhibit at Niza Knoll Gallery. For example, the dog may be the main subject of a piece, or there may be just a hint of the dog such as a tail, a paw, or a leash as it relates to any other animal—a cat, a bird, a human, etc. Works will be juried online, but accepted pieces must be dropped off in person to the gallery by the artist or a representative. All submissions are to be made through the Café website at www.callforentries.org. A full prospectus and link to the entry page can be found at www.nizaknollgallery.com.

The Gone to the Dogs (with friends) exhibit runs May 15 to June 13, 2020 at Niza Knoll Gallery, 915 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s popular Art District on Santa Fe. The gallery specializes in intriguing conceptual exhibits, participates in First and Third Friday and Art of Brunch Art Walks, and hosts monthly salons, private concerts, and guest speakers. Past exhibits have included unusual artist pairings, outsider art, collaborative work, thought-provoking thematic exhibits of artists using non-traditional media. Through a partnership with Kingman Winery, the space serves a tasting room for their fine Colorado wines and is proud to offer their wine for sale during First Friday art walks and other special events.
