Dogs of the Convent: The Exhibition

Dig in to Dogs of the Convent: a brand-new project featuring the tenant community and their fur-bulous four-legged friends: the ulti-mutt mascots of Abbotsford Convent.  

Take a peek into the studios of these paw-fect pets and get to know the stars of our pup-arazzi, captured by onsite fur-tographer Kristoffer Paulsen (or…Paw-lsen), and featuring 14 brilliant artists based on-site.  From small woofers to big floofs — Henri Mutt-ises and Andy War-howls to Pup-lo Picassos and Jackson Paw-locks — if you’re nuts about mutts, this is the pick of the litter.  

Dogs of the Convent is a tail-wagging exhibition in St Heliers Street Gallery, where these puppy paw-traits take centre stage. Visitors can paw-se at each image, or em-bark on their own journey, sniffing out the stories behind every studio, and meeting some of these canine companions. 

Plus, bring these beauties home in our premiere Dogs of the Convent Calendar — with 12x A4 pages of paw-traits and plenty of room for your events, appointments and extra de-tails.
