Last weekend I was one of the artists included in Unleashed!, an art show about the bond between humans an animals benefitting Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary. I donated several sets of pet-themed stationery, framed collage pieces with pet silhouettes, and free bonus bookmarks "take aways."
Promoted by Evie Turner Marketing and VOX Sacramento, Unleashed! took place on July 9th in Midtown at ThinkHouse Collective, a "coworking community for Sacramento's creative class." Pet-themed paintings, collages, illustrations and more were presented salon-style on the Victorian house walls, tables and chairs in various rooms. All artwork was for auction or sale - with proceeds going to Happy Tails.
As a vibrant 2nd Saturday crowd mingled inside and Robert Jordan from Ireland entertained on the spacious front porch, "Mi familia de California" - Marlene, Val, Carl and Alyssa - joined for the festivities and stirred up the creative love. While the house pulsed with generous energy from the bidders and (people) tails wagged happily over bids and buys, it was clear that the show was a PAW-SOME success.
