Alexandria's First Night 2017: Kids Help Get Animals Adopted Through Art

1/1/2017

 
The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) and UpCycle Creative Reuse Center teamed up again in the north hall of the Torpedo Factory for First Night Alexandria festivities.

The AWLA brought two dogs and a snake that were available for adoption. Pugly was a 1 year old pug mix who will be available for adoption after he receives extra medical attention. Franco was a friendly 10 year old pug/Brussels Griffon mix and Monty was an adult ball python looking for a forever home.
Children were invited to paint, draw, and create a collage of one of the on-site animals to help get them adopted. 
George Washington joined in the creative fun and made a portrait of his best animal friend Screech!
Eight pieces of artwork from the event have been selected as animal winners and are posted on UpCycle's Facebook page. The public is invited to "like" the artwork until midnight on January 7, 2017. The design with the most "likes" overall wins an AWLA Executive Director led tour of the Shelter for up to 20 guests and a gift certificate to UpCycle Creative Reuse Center. 
All of the artwork created at First Night Alexandria's Kids Help Get Animals Adopted Through Art may be viewed below.
