CALENDAR A group of 12 local artists are coming together to do an art show and benefit called Friends with Heart for the Community Veterinary Center (CVC). CVC is a nonprofit that provides veterinary services for the pets of low-income individuals. All the money from this event will go to CVC so it can build a surgical facility. At the moment, CVC is sending pets in need of surgery to for-profit veterinarians and helping their customers pay for the costs, which is expensive. If they are able to build the surgical facil- ity, CVC will be able to provide a much wider range of services for needy pets that their owners might not be able to afford otherwise. “This is our eighth year getting together and selling artwork to benefit a non-prof- it,” Sue Hunnel, a local glass artist, says. Hunnel says that artwork at the show will range from $5 to $300 and comes in a wide variety of mediums like jewelry, glass, wood, fabric, paintings, photography, pottery and more. There will also be a memorial print sale of Michael DiBietto’s work —an artist who passed away in December after eight years of being with the show. “Some of these people don’t show very often,” Hunnel says. Alongside the artwork there will be a raffle to benefit CVC. Prizes include gift cards from community businesses and artwork. The event will be two days long and includes music and complimentary refresh- ments.
