The Aloft Art Gallery’s annual “On the Wild Side” show is all about
horses this time. We are supporting ReHorse Rescue Ranch with 20% of art
sales from participating artists going to help our four-legged friends
at the ranch from February 9th through February 28th.
ReHorse Rescue Ranch is an all volunteer nonprofit organization that
provides temporary and/or permanent safe, loving and healthy environment
for abandoned, neglected or abused equines. They depend on donations
for feed and veterinary care and are currently housing 39 horses, some
donkeys and a potbellied pig named Barney. Two or three volunteers check
in daily to work, and 15 to 20 people volunteer on Sundays. It costs
over $100.00 a month to feed one horse and Vet bills can add up to
thousands!
Raquelle started this project over 5 years ago and has successfully
cared for, and placed for adoption, more than 300 horses to happy
“forever homes”. Raquelle is a passionate advocate for these amazing
animals “that have no voice of their own”
There will also be watercolor painting demonstration by Western artist,
Kim Barrington. Kim will be painting her favorite subjects; Horses,
saddles and tack. Join us for a reception on 2nd.Saturday, February 9th,
from 5 – 8 PM and meet Kim and Raquelle. There will be an opportunity
to win one of Kim’s watercolors, a glass piece by Shirley Wilson-Rose
and a horse sculpture by Merla Jordan. Ticket proceeds will all go to
ReHorse Rescue.
We may even have four-legged guests!
