Two Suffield artists and longtime friends, Christine MacClintic and Stephanie Garofalo, will have their work featured in the upcoming art show Reigning Cats & Dogs at WORK_SPACE in Manchester, Conn. The exhibit runs from October 3 to December 4, 2025, and promises to be a colorful, playful celebration of the deep connections between people and their animal companions.
According to the show’s description, Reigning Cats & Dogs invites artists and animal lovers alike to unleash their imagination in depicting the joy, inspiration and mischief our furry—and not-so-furry—friends bring to our lives. The exhibit is open to all media, welcoming works that feature everything from regal cat portraits to whimsical dog doodles, sculpted snouts and even interpretations of beloved birds, bunnies and bearded dragons.
For MacClintic and Garofalo, both known for their expressive and heartfelt paintings, the show offers an opportunity to combine their artistic talents with their shared love of animals. Visitors can expect to see unique and engaging works that reflect not only the artists’ individual styles but also their mutual appreciation for the beauty, personality, and humor of pets.
The exhibit will be held at WORK_SPACE, 903 Main Street, Manchester, CT, with an opening reception on Friday, October 3. For gallery hours and more information, visit workspacemanchester.com
