The Morris & Essex Kennel Club Art Show is a Juried Fine Arts Competition
Celebrating the Purebred Dog and the Spirit of the Morris & Essex Kennel Club Dog
Show
Offering a cash prize of $1,000 for Best in Show
About the Show:
Every five years, the Morris & Essex Kennel Club brings back the legacy of
Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge’s grand and elegant dog show held from 1927
through 1957. This year, the show is held on October 1, 2015, in Colonial Park,
Somerset, NJ.
The Morris & Essex Kennel Club Art Show invites artists whose works depict
purebred dogs to exhibit their work at this exciting show. Art Show proceeds
benefit a number of canine charities.
Each award winner will receive a Morris & Essex rosette and single invitation to
the exclusive Morris & Essex Kennel Club Judges’ Dinner, held September 30,
2015. One Best in Show winner will be selected and presented at the Judges’
Dinner with a $1,000 prize. All winning artworks will be displayed at both the Judges’ Dinner and in a tented place of honor on the outdoor show grounds on
October 1, 2015. All entries will also be displayed in a virtual gallery on the Morris & Essex
Kennel Club website, www.morrisandessexkennelclub.com, following the October
1, 2015, show through December 1, 2015.
All artwork appearing at the Morris & Essex Kennel Club Judges’ Dinner and Dog
Show, as well as on the Morris & Essex Kennel Club website, will be available for
sale with a 30% commission donated to Morris & Essex Kennel Club.
Juror: Mr. William Secord of the William Secord Gallery, NYC
