You've heard of GenCon, Comic-Con, VidCon, and even FoodCon—but brace yourselves, Indianapolis: it's time for PetCon, the group show taking over Speck Gallery like a stampede of furry, feathered, and scaled companions. This isn't your typical cat portrait exhibit (though yes, there is a cat or two). Instead, think beyond the scratching post; imagine a dog lost in existential reflection at the foot of an open refrigerator, an enshrined collie, or critters made of glass. This is the pet-themed art show you never knew you needed, now wriggling, chirping, and barking into your heart.

PetCon showcases the work of over 50 artists, bringing an explosion of mediums, styles, and sizes, just like the pets themselves. From a photographed guinea pig to a curious lemur brought to life from collaged magazine paper, each piece captures the quirks and charm of animals who share our homes (and rule them). Sculpture, photography, textile, print, and more transform Speck Gallery into an ark of artistic expression, celebrating the creatures who bring us comfort, chaos, and sometimes half-eaten slippers. Whether you're a die-hard dog person, a devoted tarantula lover, or somewhere in between, this show is a visual feast with something for every kind of animal enthusiast.

Beyond the cuteness, PetCon stirs real emotion and curiosity, why do we connect so deeply with animals? What do they see when they look at us? Are they silently judging our Netflix choices? These works invite laughter, nostalgia, and maybe a little philosophical musing. So leash up your curiosity and see why the Speck Gallery is the place to be this month. No ticket required, just bring your love for all things paws, claws, tails, and scales.
