The Columbus Museum of Art’s latest installation, CATS, has taken over the Open Gallery in the JPMorgan Chase Center for Creativity, celebrating one of humanity’s longest-standing muses: the cat. From domesticated companions to wild prowlers, this exhibit highlights how artists have captured these enigmatic creatures through history.

Whether worshiped by ancient civilizations or adored in modern-day memes, cats have captivated the human imagination. The CATS exhibit delves into these themes, showcasing how artists have immortalized their beauty, mystery, and personality.

Activities for the Art-Loving Cat Enthusiast

More than just a showcase of feline-inspired works, the gallery offers an immersive, interactive experience designed for visitors of all ages. Patrons can:

  • Share personal cat stories and images, creating a community wall of feline tributes.
  • Engage in art-making activities, where visitors can “think like an artist” and create their own cat-themed masterpieces.
  • Play and explore in a space designed to inspire imagination and fun.

Whether you’re a devoted cat person or simply an admirer of fine art, this exhibit is a unique way to enjoy the intersection of creativity and feline charm.
