Animals Among Us

November 15 - December 23, 2021

Animals throughout the ages and across cultures have been depicted in art in every imaginable form. Often they are the embodiment of our desires, needs and hopes, and as domesticated pets they have taken on a larger-than-usual role during the COVID pandemic. Their relationship to humans has proved essential. In art, animals are inspirational, symbolic, allegorical, and supernatural.

Crown Point Press presents Animals Among Us, a group exhibition that brings together 17 artists who have made prints with animals as subject. The exhibition is on view in the Crown Point Gallery at 20 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, November 15 – December 30. Crown Point Press is committed to limiting the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our staff and clients healthy. All visitors to the Crown Point building must wear masks at all times. Our hours are Monday – Friday, 9AM-5PM.
