The Next Challenge!

Hi all you artists,
Here is the artist challenge for the month. This one gives you a chance to celebrate all the wonderful pets out there, especially pets in or from shelters.

The rules:
Make a piece of art of approximately 8" x 10" in size.
It can be any hand made medium: oil, watercolor, collage, drawing, acrylic, etc.
It should be a portrait of a pet in one of these categories: cat, dog, bird.
Deliver your piece to Upstairs Studio by March 30. It must be ready to hang.
There is an Art Intake form that you will need to submit with your Art. You can find it by following this link: Intake Form

Besides being fun, this challenge will have an extra purpose: to highlight shelter animal adoptions.

If you have or know of a pet who was adopted from a shelter, a portrait of that pet would be ideal. Also, if you would like to take some photos of shelter animals for reference, the nice folks at SPCA are happy to help. Drop by the Thrift Shop (next to Guidos), talk to Katie. Tell her you are taking part in the artist challenge, and she will help you in any way she can. There are cats at the Thrift shop you can visit and photograph.

You can also go to the adoption center, talk to Liz, say you are doing an art piece, and she will assist you.

Once your piece has been displayed at Upstairs Studio, during April First Friday, it will travel to the SPCA.
Your art will be part of their annual fundraising silent auction at Guido's Pizza on April 17th.
You might want to put your contact info on the back of the piece, so your buyer will know which great artist donated the work.

The folks at SPCA are very excited about this project! There will be a sign up sheet at the Upstairs Studio First Friday, or contact Carol. Her email is carol@carollambertarts.com
