CALL TO ARTISTS
The Arts Consortium would like to invite members and POTENTIAL members to participate in our December 2018 “Lend a Paw” First Friday show.
Entries will be accepted November 30 – 10AM-6PM at the Consortium (300 E. Oak Ave.)
We have teamed up with UnionJacki Rescue for First Friday in December!
We want to display your dog themed or Union Jack themed artwork…or maybe you have a piece with BOTH! UnionJacki Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Jacquie’s journey started in the suburbs of Manchester, England with the family pooch named Laddie. She moved to Southern California in the early 80’s & began her career in pet grooming.
Her passion bloomed into rescue & fostering before her departure from the San Fernando valley to Tulare Co. In 2009 the UnionJacki Community “dream” soon became a reality & has developed a team of rescue folks & foster families. UnionJacki’s motto is “We are dedicated to placing the perfect pooch on the perfect porch!”
During the event we will also have a dog adoption!
Gift Baskets and other items will be auctioned off with proceeds going to UnionJackie!
Artists we need your help to fill the Gallery!
