Join me at Atlantic Cape Community College’s Art Gallery on August 3rd for a talk supporting their exhibition Shelter Stories. This open call show is in support of local rescue organizations.
I will be giving a short talk at 5:15 on August 3, the night of the reception about my many rescue dogs and their presence in my many sketchbooks and our crazy life together. My Pack Tales talk will precede the reception. This exhibition is a concerted effort to raise awareness of animals placed in shelters awaiting adoption. This coincides with August’s Clear the Shelters month-long initiatives.
The summary of the open call can be found here: https://library.atlanticcape.edu/art-gallery
