Taubman goes to dogs (and cats and other pets)
The opening night reception for “Best in Show”, the annual art show to benefit the Roanoke Valley SPCA, will be held Feb. 6, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the atrium of the Taubman Museum of Art.
Just like the pets and animals that inspire it, the artwork in the show can take a variety of forms, including oils, pastels, chalk or pencil, photography.
More than 100 regional artists will have their work on display, and the winner of "Best in Show" will be featured as the cover of the 2010 Pet Calendar.
Can’t make it to opening night? No worries. The Market Gallery, just a one block stroll from the Taubman Museum, will feature the art from Feb. 7 through Feb. 21.
All artwork will be for sale. Many of the artists will designate a portion (or all) of the proceeds of the sale to the RVSPCA.
