BARCS Art Show Benefit at Zella's TONIGHT!

Show runs August 6th to October 5th, 2009
Reception: Thursday, Aug 6, 6-8pm

Art for the Animal

Sowebo Arts, in partnership with Zella’s Pizzeria at 1145 Hollins Street, Baltimore, 21223 (otherwise known as the BEST place to get gourmet brick oven pizza in town) will present an exhibition of art to benefit BARCS (Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter), opening August 6 through October 5. We are presenting animal themed work from artists in the Baltimore-Washington area. These will be sold and the commission will be evenly shared between BARCS and SoWeBo Arts, Inc. The August 6 opening will be from 6 – 8 PM. Admission is free, and complimentary pizza and wine will be available at the opening only!

BARCS is the non-profit animal rescue organization that operates the former Baltimore City Municipal Animal Shelter. BARCS in conjunction with Baltimore City Animal Control take into the shelter 12,000 animals a year. BARCS houses over 450 animals on any given day and sends thousands of animals out to rescues and adopters every year. During these trying economic times BARCS is averaging 40 animals or more a day entering the shelter. These times of reduced grants and contributions, BARCS is in great need of funding. Your support is greatly appreciated. SoWeBo Arts supports causes like BARCS and community building through the arts.
