Art Exhibit Reception at Vola Lawson Animal Shelter

An opening reception kicks off 7-9 p.m. Friday for “Rescue Me,” an art exhibit at the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter at 4101 Eisenhower Ave. in Alexandria.

The exhibit is a collaboration between Del Ray Artisans and AWLA. It runs from through Jan. 25, 2015.

Companion animals who share their love with humans are the subject matter for this second exhibit featured at the shelter. Artwork includes paintings, drawings, collages, photography, and mixed media inspired by the animals. Twenty percent of all proceeds go to the AWLA. Art makes great holiday gifts.

This exhibit is a part of Del Ray Artisans’ Gallery Without Walls program and is in partnership with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. As a fund-raising effort, a percentage of each sale goes directly to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria and Del Ray Artisans—both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisations.
