Artist friends who love cats Vol.5 2025.2.14.fri-3.31.mon

For the 5th time, the main venue has returned to the Kobe Kitano Museum of Art!
This year, there is a long period from February 14th to March 31st.

The exhibition of works by artist friends who love cats, which started on February 22, 2020, gathers over 100 works of art filled with cat love every time.
I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of cat works will be lined up this year!

During the period, there will be workshops by artists, live painting events, and the sad fat cat Chanmaru will also be in attendance.
Details will be announced later on the homepage.
