Art and Animals, those are my two passions, or rather, they are just what I'm about. You know me as owner of the Loft, the Loft's non-profit wing, arts a'loft, and a wanna be Artist. But I'm recently on the Board of the Humane Society of Culpeper, following my resignation of the Louisa Humane Society after achieving the goal of a no kill shelter. My focus now is achieving a no-kill community in Culpeper. We need money, volunteers and most of all, foster homes. To address our first need we are holding the MOAF (the Mother of All Fundraisers); Shoes 4 Paws, collecting gently worn or new shoes that we are paid per pound for by a company sending them to developing nations. It's a win-win; supporting animal rescue and people of third world nations as well as cleaning out your closet! Please help by dropping off bags of gently worn or new shoes at the Loft any Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The fundraiser ends July 31.
Stay fierce my friends,
Patty from the Loft

Barebones Exhibit!
Submission protocol and important dates!
My intention is to make this as efficient and easy on myself (Committee of One) and the artists. To submit work please ensure that each piece of art work has a typed or printed card attached securely to the back with the following information; Name, Title, Medium, Price (keep in mind that the consignment fee is 35%). Also provide a separate document with your contact information, typed or printed; Name, mailing address, email address, phone number and again the Title, Medium, and Price of each submitted piece of work. No work will be accepted without the aforementioned information provided. Submissions are accepted by scheduling a day and time with Me on the following dates; June 23 & 24 between Noon and 4pm (the last appointment scheduled). All work will be juried. No cost to submit and you may submit several pieces! All work must be for sale.
35% consignment fee if sold. Opening Night is July 7 at 7pm! Be sure to invite your friends and family! The Exhibit runs through Sunday, July 23. Please plan to pick up your work July 28 (between noon and 6). If any of these dates are inconvenient for you please let Me know and I will try to accommodate your schedule. Please note that I am fully insured. I am so excited to hang this exhibit and party with you all!
*****************************************************************************************************************
It was very difficult to choose just one from the twelve amazing submissions we received! The Design Committee's selected submission for this RFP was based not only on artistry, but also the image that resonated with this particular wall and its location. Since the submissions were so strong, we are holding several on file to be considered for the 2nd wall this year and future walls. Our goal is to install 2 each year! The awarded artist and image will be announced next week via a press release. Thank you so much to all the artists who submitted artwork for consideration. We were blown away by the talent in our area! Culpeper Walls! is alive and very much still in play! Stay tuned! More opportunities to come!
