The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has opened the “Alexandria Animal Art Gallery” at the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter at 4101 Eisenhower Ave.  The first exhibit, “All Creatures Great and Small” is a partnership between AWLA and Del Ray Artisans.

The Del Ray Artisans, founded in 1992, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote visual arts for the benefit of artists and the community. DRA regularly supports local charities through proceeds from exhibits and other events.  In December 2013, they raised $700 from their Holiday Market Bake Sale for the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria to provide food and supplies for the animal shelter, adoption, and foster programs.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria worked with the City of Alexandria to transform the shelter’s adoption hallway into the”Alexandria Animal Art Gallery”.   The “All Creatures Great & Small” exhibit will run from August 3rd through October 26th and can be viewed during adoption hours.

For more information on this and other Del Ray Artisans events, visit their web page at thedelrayartisans.org and the gallery can be viewed during shelter open “adoption”.
