Art for Zoe's Animal Rescue

I have been involved with Zoe's Animal Rescue for several years. I have fostered dogs and helped with their website, it's a rewarding role for sure. Helping out gives me a small insight into the amount of funding organizations like Zoe's need in order to help our furry friends. Every puppy I have fostered is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and cared for by a loving volunteer before it is adopted for a nominal fee.
A straightforward adoption probably costs Zoe's more in vet care and food than the fee they receive from the adopters.
So imagine when there are added vet bills - a dog is brought in after being hit by a car, a puppy gets parvo and needs special medications, an older dog is surrendered and needs one on one help from a trainer so it can be re-homed - these things quickly add up.

Recently two older paintings were returned to me and thought this would be a good opportunity to help Zoe's pay down their vet bills.
I am auctioning off these two pieces, plus a few other paintings, prints and books that also need a home.

50% of the proceeds will be donated to Zoe's so bid high and bid often to help the pups (oh and the cats too).

In 1997 Phil Alain rented a small community hall in the city of St. Albert, set up all his artwork around the perimeter of the room, had a friend play piano, his sister sing, and food and drinks were provided in a party like atmosphere to a small but supportive crowd of 150 people. The event was a hit and Alain was able to show and promote his artwork in a new and exciting way. From that day forward Night of Artists was born and as of 2019 Night of Artists has been featured across Canada in over 250 events​ and the annual event now receives over 3000 guests over a three day festival
Night of Artists is designed as an opportunity for artists to showcase their artworks with other artists through a fun and exciting event that appeals to the masses. The idea behind the show is based on collaboration and team work. Thus the shows success for over 22 years has been a reflection of community coming together in support of the arts.
