Call for Art — Dogs of Oak Cliff
Tiny Gallery Trail | Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas
Exhibition Dates | October 10, 2026 – January 9, 2027
They greet us at the door. They roam our neighborhood and sleep in our beds. In Oak Cliff, every dog has a story — and so does every person who loves one.
The relationship between Oak Cliff and its dogs is full of love and loyalty, but also fear, loss, and the everyday complexity of caring for animals. The Tiny Gallery Trail invites artists to explore all of it — honestly and with heart.
Literal and conceptual interpretations welcome. Oak Cliff perspectives especially encouraged.
