Join us on September 26, 2024 at the Venice Arts Gallery for the closing reception of DOGTOWN: The Pups of Venice Beach and Their Humans, photographer Dotan Saguy’s latest body of work. The show features 57 quirky, heartfelt, candid photographs of our four-legged Venetian friends shot in black and white on Saguy’s Leica.

Saguy’s last exhibit at Venice Arts Gallery was in 2018 and was titled Venice Beach, The Last Days of a Bohemian Paradise. About returning to the Venice Arts Gallery to show his work, Saguy says, “The projects I shoot in Venice, such as DOGTOWN, are a labor of love that is first and foremost meant to be shared with the local community, and I can’t think of a better place to do just that than at Venice Arts.”

This intimate closing reception will offer a unique opportunity to meet the talented Dotan Saguy and hear an insightful artist talk about his stunning canine black-and-white portraits. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the end of an unforgettable exhibition that has captured the endearing bond between Venetians and their pups. Don’t miss this chance to connect, reflect, and enjoy a final look at these captivating images.

Admission is free with a suggested donation of $20 that goes to support Venice Arts’ free photography programs for low-income youth.
