Call for artists - NAA Nashville Artists Studio Tour - Sept 13, 2008: Deadline: Aug 15, 2008
Call for artists - 2nd Annual Art for Animals - Nov 13, 2008
Calling Local Artists!
On Thursday, November 13, 2008, NashvillePAW Magazine will host our 2nd Annual Art for Animals, a very special art gallery event benefiting local spay and neuter programs. The event will be held from 6-9pm at HA Gallery in Nashville. We would like to invite you to be a part of the festivities and to help us support local spay and neuter by submitting your artwork!
Last year's inaugural event was a smash hit, raising over $5,500 as nearly 200 guests enjoyed an evening filled with local art, wine and hors d'oeuvres, as well as a fabulous silent auction. The event was featured as the Nashville Scene's "Pick of the Week" and received rave reviews from artists and attendees alike. This year, the event will benefit Fix for Life, a new high-quality, low-cost spay and neuter clinic located in Lebanon and operated by the Humane Association of Wilson County.
This is not only a wonderful chance to help support local spay and neuter, but it is also a wonderful opportunity to promote your work within the community. All mediums are considered, although animal-themed art, abstracts and contemporary work wsa especially popular with our guests last year.
Please contact for event details and artist opportunities.
Thank you for your time... and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
For the Animals,
Heather Davis
