Information for Artists, Photographers, and Creators

Want Your Art in the Museum?

If you would like to volunteer to contribute your artwork or photographs to the museum collection ahead of our launch, please email catmuseumnyc@gmail.com with “Art” and your name in the subject line

Please include your social media or website where we can preview the work you would like us to consider, along with details about how you should be credited, your intentions about how we use the artwork, an artist/cat lover’s statement, and any other biographical, geographical, and logistical information we should know (how large the artwork is, for example).

More Opportunities to Come

Please stay tuned for formal calls for artwork after we launch the museum. At this time, we regret that we cannot offer compensation (beyond the possibility of partnerships, gift shop merchandise profit-splitting opportunities, and/or shipping costs—although we would prefer to meet you and accept your work in person if you are local to New York City). When we launch and secure the means to fairly pay artists, photographers, and other creators, we plan to actively solicit submissions from BIPOC, LGTBQ+, women, and other artists who are underrepresented in traditional art spaces.
