The NYC National Arts Club was chosen for the issue launch and private screening of the second CatWalk FurBaby documentary because of its history. It was founded in 1898 by Charles DeKay, an art and literary critic of the New York Times, to “stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts and to educate the American people in the fine arts”.
This highly anticipated film will offer a deeper look into the creative process, highlighting the designers, furbabies, and the causes they supported. Designers and participants will be in attendance, making this event a celebration of both fashion and philanthropy,
while offering fans and supporters a rare glimpse into the magic that happens behind the runway.
