Dog and Art Lovers Unite!

Fourth annual Paws and Claws Fundraiser Announced to Benefit ARLNH.

BEDFORD, NH - Is there a connection between those who love dogs and those who also love original art? There must be. Last year, this Paws and Claws fundraiser raised $9,000 in just three hours.

This unique event offers anyone the opportunity to attend a cocktail party and view 100, 6” x 6” original works from area professional gallery artists. Guests can choose a painting for a donation of just $75. The 4th annual event will be held on April 14, 2016, from 6 to 9pm at Sullivan Framing and Fine Art Gallery located at 15 North Amherst Road in Bedford.

The event is spearheaded by Amy Sullivan and Dana Boucher, both local Bedford business women and artists who share their commitment to the care and well-being of animals by the Animal Rescue League of NH also located in Bedford. “The donated works of art feature a wide variety of subject matter from landscapes, still life and of course some dogs and cats!“ states Sullivan, “You never know what you might find in this beautiful collection!” 100 percent of the sales goes directly to the ARLNH. A special feature of the evening will be a showing of original artwork of dogs and other animals for sale by well-known artist Molly Poole.
