DORF presents "Dog Days," a summer group exhibition exploring the deep, complex, and often healing bond between humans and their canine companions. Selected through an open call, the exhibition features over 20 local and regional artists whose work celebrates the role of dogs in our lives - as loyal friends, symbolic figures, protectors, muses, and sources of joy and grief.
While the term “dog days” historically referred to a season of heat, unrest, and misfortune in ancient Roman and Greek calendars, this show reclaims the phrase with a different perspective: that in a time of global uncertainty and rising temperatures, the steady, loving presence of a dog can be a grounding force - a source of comfort, stability, and meaning.
The exhibition will remain on display through September 6.
