PURRSONALITIES

An Augmented Reality Art Experience

Artist Collaborations and Exhibition Curated by Shylo Silvenar

May 2-June 29 2025, Studio G

PURRSONALITIES is a collaborative art project culminating in a public exhibition at the Artists' Attic, in beautiful downtown Lexington, Kentucky.

This project unites traditional and digital artists to celebrate the unique personalities of shelter cats through augmented reality.

Our mission is to create meaningful connections between art, technology, and animal advocacy, fostering awareness about pet adoption and supporting local shelters during their peak season.

By blending creativity, storytelling, and innovation, we aim to inspire community engagement, generate donations, and encourage cat adoptions—all while providing a platform for artists to grow, collaborate, and explore new mediums.
