"Live"? Art for Animals - A Benefit for Camden's Dogs and Cats NJ Aid for Animals, Inc., (NJAFA), the leader in innovative programs for underserved animals in Camden and Gallery Eleven One is hosting a unique fundraiser for spay and neuter services for dogs and cats, Thursday, July 25 from 5 to 8:30 pm. Every $25.00 ticket will provide a spay or neuter for a dog or cat in Camden.
These critical services are in dire need as animal control is picking up an average of twenty- five dogs and cats a week in Camden alone. These animals are taken to over-stressed and over-crowded shelters where often the only alternative is euthanasia. Reducing the number of unwanted litters through spay and neutering will ensure that the number of animals on the street will be reduced and lessen the impact on our local shelters. NJAFA's mission is to spay and neuter every single animal in Camden.
The venue is Gallery Eleven One located in a beautifully, renovated 1906 firehouse on the Rutgers Campus near the Camden Waterfront at 339 N. Front Street. Mr. Butler is a nationally acclaimed artist whose works have sold from coast to coast.
William Butler, artist and owner of Gallery Eleven One, says, "My wife, Ronja, and I are so happy to be partnering with NJAFA for this event. We live in Camden with our boys, and we understand the importance of spaying and neutering and the other tremendous work NJAFA does in the city."
This fascinating artist also creates live art. Each live art experience is unique and tailored to the message and theme of the event. Butler paints many distinct layers on his canvas, transforming the painting many times before completion. In about 60 minutes, the painting is complete. The finished piece is awe inspiring, but it is the creative process on display which creates an experience with art unlike any other. Guests will have an opportunity to purchase this live art experience with 25% of the proceeds going directly to NJAFA.
Heavy hors d'oeuvre, live jazz, original artwork and a live art demonstration from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm.
Walk ins are welcome but space is limited and a reservation is recommended at [email protected] or (856) 728-0911. Every $25.00 ticket purchased will provide a spay or neuter for a dog or cat which is the exact cost of surgery for a Camden animal. Safe secure parking is available on the street.
