The numbers are flowing in and THANKS TO YOU our 2016 Artists for Animals event raised $50K for the adoptable dogs and cats at Operation Kindness last week. Here’s a great clip!

I was never more surprised or impressed walking in to a classroom than the day I entered Kyle Clark’s Advanced Life Drawing class at Booker T Washington School for the Arts in Dallas. I knew the school’s reputation for excellence, but the quality of the work by these young artists was beyond anything I had expected. It made me want to go back to school.
We are so fortunate to be the bridge between these young hearts and the animals in need. I hope you’ll attend our concert and art auction on February 13th and see some of their amazing work in person — it will lift your spirits and give you a chance to own a little piece of their genius.

In a few weeks our visits to the classrooms at Booker T Washington School for the Arts start up again with the new school year — that means more beautiful relationships being created between students and their “models” and more beautiful artwork. But wait, there’s MORE! Here’s the video explaining our expansion:
We’re reaching out to more people with larger, better venues and more concert dates — but we need your help!
Our hearts are full after an amazing outpouring of love and generosity for Operation Kindness at Saturday night’s concert. The fourth annual Artists for Animals concert was a true success! Even though the final totals aren’t available yet, we can safely announce that we met our goal and will be purchasing the wonderful adoption trailer that Operation Kindness needs. Artists, musicians, guests and volunteers all pulled together for a hugely successful evening — and the homeless animals of north Texas are the big winners. Thank you so much. 
The beautiful art that has been donated for this year’s silent auction is so inspiring! I can’t believe the talent behind the wonderful artists at Booker T Washington School for the Arts in Dallas. We have been visiting almost every week during this fall semester. Each week with a different adoptable dog or cat and Mr. Clark’s AP Life drawing classes have been making magic! These and other wonderful pieces will be available February 21st at our Artists for Animals event.
