About the Exhibition
Black cats are icons of Halloween, a status that emerged from their historical association with witches, demons, and bad luck. This exhibition bears witness to the multiple facets of the black cat condition, including their connection with witches and the occult, their reputation for independence, and the existence of individual cats as beloved pets. This intimate show in the Stairwell Gallery is only up for a short while, so be sure not to miss it!
Happy Halloween!
