Bark at the moon: One-of-a-kind Sacramento dog art show, returns

Dogs. They fetch, sit, roll over, play dead and love us unconditionally. Those meme-worthy, loyal companions and humankind’s best friends—sorry cat lovers—are getting their due. The Natsoulas Gallery has hosted an annual dog-based art exhibition for five years and this year it’s bringing together works from more than 40 artists including Roy De Forest, Esther Shimazu and Robert Hammerling to celebrate humanities canine comrades. The pups are depicted in a variety of mediums, including glass, clay, wood, ceramics, oil paint, assemblage, wax, metal and bronze. From Chihuahuas to retrievers, in this art show you can see dogs of all shapes and sizes, but you might want to leave “Spot” at home for the Friday reception featuring four generations of artists coming together over their shared appreciation of dogs. 521 1st St., Davis, natsoulas.com/
