Hello Friends of Picture This Gallery & Custom Framing,
There is still so much to look forward to this year and I am very excited to share with you new additions in our upcoming exhibits.
JUNE
CALL FOR ARTISTS: Pet Art & Fundraiser
New to our annual events is the 1st Annual "Animal House" Pet Exhibit and Fundraiser for B.A.R.K. of Long Beach.
We are still accepting artwork for this exhibit!
The 1st Annual "Animal House" Pet Exhibit is to raise funds for local Long Beach non-profit organization B.A.R.K.
As animal lovers, we would like to get exposure for these dedicated artists and the animals in their lives. Each year we will chose a Non-Profit to donate part of the proceeds. This year we have selected B.A.R.K. founded by Long Beach resident Josie Gavieres. B.A.R.K. is an all-volunteer program that encourages children to increase their reading skills and self-confidence by reading aloud to certified therapy dogs. B.A.R.K. teams also visit nursing homes, senior living facilities, veterans centers, and even de-stress college students during finals week.
Exhibit Dates: June 1st - June 30th
Pet Reception: Sunday, June 30th 10am - 4pm
Please email us for entry form and feel free to share with others.
