On April 4, 2023, the Kennel Membership celebrated its a hundred and fiftieth 12 months of canine-owner companionship with a wide ranging, never-before-seen canine artwork exhibit in Mayfair, London.
Hosted by the Kennel Membership Artwork Gallery, the occasion featured classic images, artifacts, and a set of work that creatively shows the group’s colourful historical past.
Though it was difficult to squeeze the timeline into one particular exhibition, in keeping with Ciara Farrell, the Library and Collections supervisor:
“We had been eager to make sure there was a celebration of the longstanding connection between the Royal Household and The Kennel Membership, beginning again within the reign of Queen Victoria to the late Queen Elizabeth II.”
From Canine Fancy — the 1840s canine present — to Crufts, the membership is well-noted for its significance in canines’ position in society right this moment.
And regardless of the bomb wreck in 1941, the Kennel Membership continued its mission of selling a dog-friendly neighborhood.
Formally based in 1873, the Kennel Membership is now one of many largest canine organizations within the UK that spearheads canine well being, welfare, and coaching.
As a part of the group’s future endeavors, the Younger Kennel Membership explores the following era of canine lovers — 6 to 24-year-olds — to participate in actions not restricted to agility and canine exhibits.
“Right here’s to our subsequent 150 years, because the Kennel Membership continues to make a constructive distinction for canines and their homeowners,” mentioned the Kennel Membership’s chairman, Tony Allcock.
Positioned in Clarges St., London, the Kennel Membership Artwork Gallery exhibit is open to the general public till January 19, 2024.
