Best in Show

Browsing for something beautiful in the middle of winter? What's more beautiful than art centered around animals, besides, you know, the actual animals? Not much, I would say.

Throughout the month of February, animal-themed works by local artists will be on display at the Market Gallery, Salem and Market Streets, in downtown Roanoke. The event is a fundraiser for the Roanoke Valley SPCA.

Past shows have included a variety of media, including oils, pastels, chalk, pencil, photography, collage, or decopage. Each piece will have a pet or animal theme.

The juried show open on Feb. 15 at 6:30 p.m. with an opening reception and judging. The work judged "Best in Show" will be featured as the cover of the 2009 RVSPCA Pet Calendar.

All artwork will be for sale, and many of the artists will designate a portion (or all) of the proceeds to the RVSPCA.
