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.
