To celebrate the 1st New York Week for the Animals, the community-minded, animal-loving owners of Up Front Exhibition Space, Port Jervis' premier art gallery, are hosting a special all-day exhibit of animal artwork from talented local artists. Fabulous paintings of animals will be on display and for sale -- a portion of all proceeds sold is being donated to Humane Society of Port Jervis to help the needy homeless dogs and cats in the community.
Special guest artist Laura Bolle of Freedom Paws will be on hand with some of her amazing animal work - stop by for this opportunity to meet her in person.
Adoptable cats from the humane society will be there too!.. The annual Port Jervis Fall Foliage Festival will be going on all day in town--so be sure to plan a visit and stop in the gallery to see the stunning artwork, meet fellow animal lovers, and the sweet cats too! The 'Art for the Animals' event is free -- light refreshments will be served and the public is warmly invited to stop by.
