On one day every year in Nepal, all dogs
are venerated. A red tika is put on their forehead, they are garlanded, and
invoked to guard their house as the dog guards the gates of the underworld.*
Inspired by Nepal’s Day of the Dog, the Kathmandu Contemporary
Arts Centre is holding its third annual charity walk in Regent’s Park on 17
th
October 2010, the Sunday of FRIEZE
Art Fair. Please support us on our walk. We will be one of up to 108 dogs
taking part - all donations will be much appreciated.
KCAC has added contemporary to its name and is now the
Kathmandu Contemporary Arts Centre. In 2009 having found an ideal building in
Kathmandu, we converted it and opened with much fanfare and an elephant in
January 2010. For further information please visit

Treatment Centre, a charity helping street dogs in Kathmandu - www.katcentre.org.np
