The current show entitled: "Animals and Pets We Cherish” focuses attention on doing what we can do to save vanishing animals and protect pets from extinction.  Sale of artwork from this show not only supports the amazing artists whose work is featured in this show but also a percentage of gallery profits from the sale of artwork will go to support the efforts of the Eastbay SPCA who are collaborating with us on this show.
