A purr-fect cat-themed art show is coming to Vancouver this weekend
A paw-dorable art exhibition celebrating our feline friends is coming to Vancouver this weekend for one day only.
The Cat Love Art Show is on Saturday, April 5, at Jig Space in the city’s Marpole neighbourhood, with dozens of artists expected to take part.
The event is produced and curated by Art Spot YVR, and each unique work of art is a tribute to cats.

“[We are] thrilled to bring this fun group exhibition to Vancouver this April,” said Art Spot, which launched in Calgary in 2008 to support emerging artists and has since expanded to host exhibitions in Edmonton and B.C.
“Expect adorable cat-inspired art, live music, and good vibes – all while supporting a pawsome cause.”

Cat Love Art Show takes place from 2 to 10 p.m. and is by donation to Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) Cat Sanctuary, a non-profit, no-kill animal services agency.
The Richmond cat sanctuary serves as a home for hundreds of feral, abandoned, and surrendered cats that are cared for by RAPS volunteers.
