Some bonds leave marks that never fade. Pause for a moment. Who has left theirs on you?
Gallerium warmly invites you to experience Pet Art 2026, the annual juried Smart International Online Group Art Exhibition, opening on February 12, 2026, and on view through April 12, 2026. This international exhibition celebrates companionship, loyalty, and love through the lives of our pets and the quiet, powerful connections they form with us.
What would our lives be without them?
They greet us with presence and trust, sit beside us in moments of stillness, and bring joy through the simplest gestures. Pets become part of our daily rhythms and our most lasting memories. Pet Art 2026 gathers these shared experiences into a single visual space, inviting visitors to reflect on the animals who walk, fly, swim, or curl beside us across cultures and generations.
This exhibition is more than a collection of artworks. It is a living reflection of the timeless bond between humans and animals. As you explore the exhibition, you will encounter intimate portraits, symbolic interpretations, playful imaginings, and thoughtful reflections on pets as family, companions, and witnesses to our lives. Each artwork offers a personal yet universal story, revealing how pets quietly shape who we are.
Pets are never “just animals.” They are comfort when the world feels heavy, laughter when we need it most, and memory when they leave us too soon. Throughout art history and into contemporary practice, animals have held a meaningful place as symbols of joy, fidelity, healing, and connection. Pet Art 2026 brings these ideas together in a global visual dialogue that feels especially relevant today, when empathy and care matter more than ever.
As you move through the exhibition, we invite you to take part. Rate the artworks that resonate with you, leave thoughtful comments, and share your reflections. Your engagement helps these works come alive and becomes part of the exhibition’s ongoing story.
