Art. Cats. Beats. Purpose.

"Caterwalls" brings together some of Tampa Bay’s most celebrated artists for a cat-themed fine art exhibition at Bayboro Brewing - and on April 12, we’re throwing a party to celebrate.

The afternoon kicks off with an artist reception (1-4 PM), where you can meet the creators, browse their work, and purchase an original piece. Featured artists include BASK, Chad Mize, Miss Crit, and more, each bringing their own style to the 14"x14" wood-panel format. Forty percent of all art sales directly benefit Friends of Strays MEOW Now! TNVR program.

Then the dance floor opens. From 4-8 PM, DJs for Paws takes over with "Laser Chase," an early-bird dance party spinning EDM, house, funk, and multi-genre remixes. It’s a party with purpose - and you’ll still be home at a reasonable hour.

Cat-themed attire and costumes welcomed. $10 suggested donation for the dance party.

This event is part of the monthlong "Caterwalls" exhibition running April 3 through May 1 at Bayboro Brewing.
